Obiettivo 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) Campo scientifico social sciencessociologydemographymortalitymedical and health sciencesclinical medicineobstetrics Programma(i) FP4-INCO - Specific research, technological development and demonstration programme in the field of cooperation with third countries and international organizations, 1994-1998 Argomento(i) 03010304 - Complementary areas bridging science and application Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinatore INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA SANTE ET DE LA RECHERCHE MEDICALE Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 78,Avenue du Général Leclerc 78, ADR 15, Ile-de-Franc 94275 LE KREMLIM BICETRE Francia Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Partecipanti (7) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto Association Sénégalaise en santé de la Réproduction Senegal Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo Avenue Pasteur 30 Dakar Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Yopougon Costa d’Avorio Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 20 Abidjan Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Centre de Recherche en Réproduction Humaine et en Démographie Benin Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 1,Recette Principal 10 Cotonou Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Hôpital Cantonal Universitaire de Genève Svizzera Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 30,Boulevard de la Cluse 1211 Genève 14 Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato University of Oslo Norvegia Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 0316 Oslo Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato University of Yaoundé I Camerun Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 10 Yaoundé Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato Université Donka Guinea Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo 10 Conakry Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
