Abstract

Unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions remain significant global public health concerns, particularly in low-income countries. This research assessed the awareness, usage, and influencing factors of emergency contraceptives among women in the Ussa Local Government Area of Taraba State, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional survey research design where 384 questionnaires were distributed among sampled women of the reproductive age group (15-49 Years) in the study area. The findings indicate that while roughly half of the respondents were aware of emergency contraceptives, there is room for improvement in terms of disseminating information about their availability and usage. Regarding the usage of emergency contraception, a sizable portion of respondents (34.3%) said they had used it, although the majority (65.7%) had not. Furthermore, formal sensitization on emergency contraceptives is lacking for a large part of the population, just as a significant proportion of respondents have yet to use them. The study also found that factors influencing women's attitudes toward emergency contraceptives in Ussa Local Government Area include economic constraints, knowledge gaps, moral beliefs, partner dynamics, social stigma, and the fear of negative health implications. Based on the findings of the study, the recommendations include enhancing health promotions by Health agencies in Ussa Local Government, encouraging parent-child discussions on reproductive health, engaging traditional and religious leaders in family planning promotions, establishing young girls-friendly centers, and implementing comprehensive reproductive health education programs to empower women and reduce unintended pregnancies.

Abstract

The increasing use of plastic water bottles has exacerbated the global plastic waste crisis. Eco-friendly packaging is the concept of reducing and recycling plastic packaging waste. AQUA carried out this concept with Danone, who launched the AQUA Life product. This study aimed to determine the direct and indirect effects of eco-friendly packaging on the purchase intention of AQUA Life products through consumer perception and to analyze descriptively how eco-friendly packaging, consumer perception, and purchase intention of AQUA Life products. The analysis technique in this study uses Path Analysis to determine the role of consumer perception in mediating eco-friendly packaging on the purchase intention of AQUA Life products. The results showed that descriptive analysis for eco-friendly packaging, consumer perception, and purchase intention for AQUA Life products received good responses. \]And it was found that the magnitude of the indirect effect of eco-friendly packaging on purchase intention was more significant than the direct effect. This means that consumer perception as an intervening variable significantly influences eco-friendly packaging on purchase intention. The research results are expected to help the company add other features, such as the reuse idea for consumers, and reconsider product selling prices. To directly increase purchase intention, the company should pay attention to factors that influence consumer purchasing intentions, such as increasing the popularity of products.
