Factors influencing acceptance of vaccination during pregnancy in The Gambia and Senegal
CONCLUSION: Vaccine acceptance can be influenced by several factors including contextual, individual or group influences and vaccine or vaccination-specific issues. Women across The Gambia and Senegal are generally vaccine acceptors with confidence in the health care workers who vaccinate them and few concerns about maternal vaccines. Women's acceptance of vaccination during pregnancy is based on previous vaccination experiences and individual weighing of risks and benefits.PMID:34088509 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.05.068 (Source: Vaccine)

Determinants of compliance with the World Health Organisation recommendations for pregnant women in an urban health centre in The Gambia
This study reports the extent to which pregnant women attending a health centre in The Gambia complied with the recommendations. A cohort of 1611 consecutive pregnant women was recruited. Only 384 (23.9%) women first attended in the first trimester and 568 (41.6%) attended at least four times. Only 15.8% of the women complied with all recommendations. Following multivariate analysis the educational level of the partner was the sole factor associated with both recommendations regarding attendance. This level of compliance reflects widespread ignorance of the value of early antenatal care and frequent visits. Public health p...

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Institutional-based Delivery in The Gambia: Further Analysis of Population-based Cross- Sectional Data
Afr J Reprod Health. 2020 Jun;24(2):176-186. doi: 10.29063/ajrh2020/v24i2.17.ABSTRACTInstitutional-based delivery could be the major strategy to avoid most maternal deaths occurring from preventable obstetric complications. The study examines the prevalence and factors associated with institutional-based delivery in The Gambia. The secondary data, from The Gambia Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) - 2018 for 3,791 women aged 15-49 years who had given birth, were extracted for the analysis. Chi-square analysis and multivariable logistic regression model were used to determine factors associated with institutional-base...
