    In Senegal, only 6.26% of women make autonomous health decisions, with partners often deciding for them. Improving women's health autonomy requires increased education and income-generating activities.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Sociology
    • Women's Health

    Background:

    • Maternal, reproductive, and sexual health services are a priority in Senegal.
    • Limited women's autonomy in health decisions hinders access to essential services.
    • Previous health interventions have not fully addressed decision-making autonomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate factors associated with women's decision-making autonomy regarding their own health in Senegal.
    • To identify key determinants influencing health choices for Senegalese women in 2017.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study analyzing factors influencing women's health decision-making autonomy.
    • Statistical analysis of demographic and socioeconomic variables.

    Main Results:

    • Only 6.26% of women reported autonomy in health decisions; 80.33% had decisions made by their husband/partner.
    • Factors positively associated with autonomy included higher education, husband's education, and income-generating activities.
    • Factors negatively associated with autonomy included rural housing and being married.

    Conclusions:

    • Senegalese women exhibit low decision-making autonomy in health matters.
    • Enhancing women's access to education and promoting income-generating activities are crucial for improving health autonomy.
    • Targeted interventions are needed to empower women in making informed health choices.
