The French “pill scare”: Did women go to a gynecologist more often to have an easier access to the IUD?
2020, Revue d'Epidemiologie et de Sante PubliqueThe French pill scare and the reshaping of social inequalities in access to medical contraceptives
2020, SSM - Population HealthCitation Excerpt :The most important one occurred in October 1995 (Marks, 2001), following the publication of several studies revealing that the use of third generation1 pills is associated with a two to three times higher risk of deep vein thrombosis compared to second generation oral contraceptives (Bloemenkamp, Rosendaal, Helmerhorst, Büller, & Vandenbroucke, 1995; Jick, Jick, Gurewich, Myers, & Vasilakis, 1995; Spitzer, Lewis, Heinemann, Thorogood, & MacRae, 1996; Farley, Meirik, Chang, Marmo, Poulter, 1995). At that time, several countries saw a decrease in pill use such as the United Kingdom (Balasch, 1997; Barnett & Breakwell, 2003; Martin, Hilton, & Kerry, 1997), Norway (Skjeldestad, 1997) and the Netherlands (de Vries, van den Berg, & de Jong-van den Berg, 1998). In France, no decrease in pill use has been observed since the public authorities.
Women's television watching and reproductive health behavior in Bangladesh
2017, SSM - Population HealthCitation Excerpt :For example, in the US, media coverage of the public debate over risks of children’s aspirin consumption was associated with an abrupt decline in use of aspirin in children and in the incidence of the diseases associated with its use (Soumerai, Ross-Degnan, & Kahn, 1992). General health reporting can also influence health behavior negatively, however, especially if it is inaccurate or overly simplified (e.g. Skjeldestad, 1997; Mason & Donnelly, 2000). Entertainment, such as reality TV, drama, movies, chat shows, etc., is the principal product of the television industry.
Unsafe Abortion
2016, International Encyclopedia of Public HealthThe birth control pill, thromboembolic disease, science and the media: a historical review of the relationship
2016, ContraceptionCitation Excerpt :The press for its part reported extensively not only on the science but also on the debate within the scientific community [59], which added to the growing unease among patients and providers [17]. As some had predicted, the CSM's warning was followed by increased birth and abortion rates in several countries [17–20,60–62]. Extensive debate continued in many circles over the interpretation of these initial and subsequent studies of pills containing third-generation progestins, culminating in a reversal of the CSM decision, indicating that the results were not as definitive as originally thought [20].
