摘要
Objectives Undergoing women of pregnancy termination (PT) significantly faces the problem of physical and mental health. This study aims to assess the prevalence and socioeconomic disparity factors of PT in Bangladesh. This study analyzed data from the 2017-18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey. Researchers employed chi-square tests to identify relationships between categorical variables and logistic regression to pinpoint factors associated with PT. To assess the socioeconomic variation of PT, the analysis utilized concentration curves, concentration indices, and decomposition techniques. Results The study found that 21.0% of reproductive-aged women in Bangladesh had ever terminated a pregnancy. Our study revealed that women from Chittagong and Sylhet regions, with wealthier backgrounds, aged 30 or older, employed in business, taking short birth intervals, and whose husband/partner was 35 or older, were more likely to have had a pregnancy termination with statistical significance (p < 0.05). Besides, concentration curves showed a higher prevalence of PT among wealthier women (CCI = 0.029, p < 0.001). Decomposition of this inequality revealed that a woman's wealth status was the largest contributor (74.98%) to the observed disparities, followed by exposure to mass media (41.82%), place of residence (34.35%), occupation (24.81%), and preceding birth interval (6.53%). Our study recommended that, in mitigating the above disparities, we should foster open discussions about underlying factors contributing to PT in Bangladesh.
