Book Description
In the third study, I explore the effect of behavioral and socio-economic factors on the diet quality of households. Diet quality has many implications for human health. Recent increases in consumption of added sugars in the U.S. can reduce intake of vital nutrients and increase the overall energy intakes. This study analyzed the proximate determinants of 7-day availability (or use) of various nutrients by 913 households participating in the National Food Stamp Program Survey conducted in 1996-97. Households' uses of added sugars, vital minerals and vitamins were explained by socioeconomic, behavioral and dietary factors. Linear programming analyses have shown that higher prices of nutritious foods can lower the quality of diets. Participation in WIC program, food stamp benefits, and consumption of low-fat diets were significantly (P

Book Description
However, husband's education was associated with lower fertility especially when their wives were also educated. Wealth was associated with higher fertility, reflecting a higher child survival rate in wealthy families. Moreover, controlling for wealth does not affect the effect of education on fertility. We find that the reproductive health interventions affected both educated and uneducated women but the effect on educated women was stronger, leading to the emergence of an education-fertility differential 16 years after the introduction of the interventions. Our results suggest that in settings where men dominate reproductive decision-making, their education status may have a stronger effect on fertility than the educational attainment of women.

Book Description
The third essay tests whether the easier pharmacy access to emergency contraception (EC) induced teenager and young unmarried women to change their sexual risk-taking behavior in a way that leads to an increase in sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and abortions. Using synthetic control method, the essay evaluates the causal effect of easier access to EC on rates of gonorrhea and abortions in Washington State. The State approved pharmacy sell of EC in 1998 as part of a pilot program ten years prior to FDA's decision. The results indicate that Washington's pilot program had little effect on the prevalence of STD and abortion.
