Effect of some selected background characteristics on reversible methods of contraception in Bangladesh
Hossain, M. Zakir and Khan, Hafiz T. A. (2001) Effect of some selected background characteristics on reversible methods of contraception in Bangladesh. Bangladesh Journal of Scientific Research, 19 (1) . pp. 71-80. ISSN 0253-5432 [Article]
Abstract
This article investigates the effects of female family planning workers on the use of modern contraception in Bangladesh. It finds that a recent visit by a family planning worker increases the odds of a client being a user of modern reversible methods almost eight-fold in rural areas and 2.5 times in urban areas. However, the reverse is the case with sterilization; contact with NGOs is the most important predictor of sterilization. The article, which provides reasons for these phenomena, draws out a number of implications for policy and programme purposes, and provides a set of recommendations to further the countrys on-going fertility decline.
