A Qualitative Study of Condom Use among Married Couples in Kampala, Uganda
Twenty-five years into the HIV/AIDS epidemic, condom use among married/stable couples remains low and under-researched in developing countries, even countries with high HIV prevalence. Introducing condoms into a long-standing relationship, in spite of HIV risk, is likely to be awkward. We conducted a qualitative study in Kampala, Uganda, with 39 couples reporting 100% condom use in the previous three months. The women were recruited from among wo…
The hospital environment and infant feeding
In recent years both the prevalence and duration of breast-feeding have decreased, especially in urban areas of the developing world (McCann et al. , 1981).

Evaluation of an unsuccessful sex Preselection clinic in Singapore
This paper evaluates a Singapore experiment to test the Shettles ‘rhythm and douche’ method of sex control. The clinic was set up in the hope that if couples could have the son they desired, they would keep their families small in accordance with the goverment's strong commitment to population control. From March 1975 to July 1977, 10,000 newly-wed women were invited to attend the clinic. A thousand women, not all newlyweds, attended at least onc…
