We find, NO, women with disabilities have similar odds of both aspects of informed choice. And the reasons for systematic differences in female sterilization remain a mystery.

So we ask, do women with disabilities have lower odds of receiving the full Method Information Index (MII--a measure of quality contraceptive counseling) or participating in contraceptive decision-making?

This analysis came about because of alarming findings that, while women with disabilities in 9 countries had the same odds of contraceptive use as women without disabilities, they had *HIGHER* odds of using female sterilization as their method.

Contraceptive decision-making is associated with lower odds of anxiety and depression in Mozambique, where such decision-making is both independently associated with better mental health and amplifies the effect of contraceptive use on mental health.

We find that women who use contraception have lower odds of anxiety symptoms in all 3 countries and lower odds of depression symptoms in Mozambique.
