The survey summarizes key findings from a report on sexual activity and contraceptive use among women in Vietnam. It found that over 60% of respondents currently experience gynecological issues like menstrual disorders and vaginitis. Nearly half of sexually active women did not use contraception in the last 3 months. The internet and print media were the primary sources of sex education, rather than school programs. Daily contraceptive pills and emergency contraception pills were most commonly used, but also reported side effects that deterred regular use.
Differences in cultures and climate conditions affect the level of the respondents’ concerns on UV rays. More than 70% of Vietnamese concerned about the skin cancer. While 62.2% of Thais are most worried about freckles. Lastly, among Indonesians, sunburn protection is a priority for more than half of the respondents (59.4%).
Since the beginning of the smartphone era, smartphone devices are gaining more popularity among users of all ages due to the convenience provided by smartphone applications, which now play a significant role in helping users live their lives more conveniently through providing entertainment as well as a platform to do business everywhere and anytime. In the past, application categories are limited to a few such as games and a few productivity applications, but who would have imagined we would have fitness tracking applications, educational applications or even medical applications?
While many applications today receive huge success in this fiercely competitive market, many are down falling. Developers today become more active in coming up with new types of applications with different layouts and designs to keep up with consumer’s demands, behavior as well as the changing trends.
Furthermore, new business models have been introduced to customers through reward application where consumers can collect stamps and points from their favorites places in order to claim discounts and prizes later.
W&S would like to study the rise and fall of smartphone applications and track changes during the past three months as well as study the awareness of reward applications in three Southeast Asian countries including Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

This study investigated the proportion of unintended pregnancies among mothers attending Glenview polyclinic in Zimbabwe. The study found that 31.6% of pregnancies were unintended. The first and second pregnancies had the highest proportion of unintended pregnancies. Factors significantly associated with unintended pregnancy included being unmarried, considering abortion, maternal age under 20 or over 30, and contraceptive failure. The study recommends that family planning organizations encourage alternative contraceptive methods after the second pregnancy and that the Ministry of Health prevent sales of contraceptives from unregistered sources.

It found that the most commonly used methods were male condoms, birth control pills, withdrawal, and implants/patches. Students were grouped as uninterrupted, intermittent, or non-users of contraception. Contraceptive attitude scores were generally positive and higher among uninterrupted users. While demographic factors did not influence contraceptive use in this homogeneous sample, evidence-based practices to reduce unintended pregnancy include improved education and access to effective long-acting reversible contraceptives.
