Objetivo The general objective is to deploy an African network for research and analysis of human reproduction and maternal health in six West African countries.The specific objectives are to:* Assess the magnitude of abortion complications in several maternities of the following six West African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea and Senegal.* Describe the type of abortion complications and the health consequences in terms of maternal morbidity and mortality.* Identify specific determinants of women seeking care for abortion complications.Project methodologyThe methodology will include a descriptive (demo-epidemiological) survey with a complementary qualitative (sociological) approach.Expected OutcomeAt the end of this project we expect to know the incidence of first trimester obstetrical complications (abortion, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy), and be able to describe the main causes of abortion complications for women admitted to maternities in different sites in the six African countries. The project will give a better understanding of the reproductive knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of women in several sites (urban and rural) of West and Central Africa. EU-African networking will be further developed and will be made available in the field.Point 1: - reception of the administrative and scientist agreement to participate - reception of the names of the coordinators and of the field workers - obtention of a first version of the registerPoint 2: - results of the pre-test; obtention and print of the final version of the register - obtention of a brief description of each site (medical and para medical personnel, number of admissions, number of births per year, etc.)Point 3: - obtention of a first data set after two months of data collectionPoint 4: - results of the qualitative studyPoint 5: - obtention of the complete data sets (from the registers) Ámbito científico social sciencessociologydemographymortalitymedical and health sciencesclinical medicineobstetrics Programa(s) FP4-INCO - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of cooperation with third countries and international organizations, 1994-1998 Tema(s) 03010304 - Complementary areas bridging science and application Convocatoria de propuestas Data not available Régimen de financiación CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinador INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 78,Avenue du Général Leclerc 78, ADR 15, Ile-de-Franc 94275 LE KREMLIM BICETRE Francia Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Participantes (7) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo Association Sénégalaise en santé de la Réproduction Senegal Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Avenue Pasteur 30 Dakar Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Yopougon Costa de Marfil Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 20 Abidjan Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Centre de Recherche en Réproduction Humaine et en Démographie Benín Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 1,Recette Principal 10 Cotonou Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Suiza Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 30,Boulevard de la Cluse 1211 Genève 14 Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos University of Oslo Noruega Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 0316 Oslo Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos University of Yaoundé I Camerún Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 10 Yaoundé Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Université Donka Guinea Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 10 Conakry Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos
