Negative Early Reproductive Health Decisions And Associated Outcomes Among Women In The Northern Region Of Ghana

ABSTRACT

Background: A growing body of demographic and sociological literature indicates that early life decisions and choices individuals make have important health consequences in later lifc Within reproductive health in particular, a number of studies suggest that early reproductive health decisions that women make have an impact on their reproductive health outcomes in later life. Despite this growing evidence, little understanding exists in Ghana about the relationship between negative early reproductive health decisions of women and later life reproductive health outcomes. Based on a life course perspective, this study aimed to examine the early reproductive health decisions of women and their associated reproductive health outcomes in the northern region of Ghana.
