  • Proximate Determinants of Fertility and Policy Implications in Beijing

    Shaoxian Wang, Yu-De Chen et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1987Citada por: 6

    Data from a 1982 sample survey of 3,830 married women below age 50 in a district of Beijing City are applied to the Bongaarts model of the proximate determinants of fertility. A total fertility rate (TFR) of 0.75 births per woman is estimated from the model, compared with a TFR of 1.24 actually observed from the survey. The estimated TFR (0.75) results from the assumed total fecundity (TF) of 15.30 births per woman being inhibited by the indexes …

  • Contraceptive sterilization in Puerto Rico

    Open AccessCharles W Warren, Charles F Westoff et al.ARTICLEDemography1986Citada por: 3

    For twenty years Puerto Rico has had the world’s highest prevalence of sterilization. From the 1982 Puerto Rico Fertility and Family Planning Assessment we examine whether the probability of obtaining sterilization is changing and what impact sterilization has on fertility, finding that the use of contraceptive sterilization has not declined and will probably continue to increase in Puerto Rico. Nonuse rather than temporary methods of contracepti…

  • Maternal Mortality in Women Aged 35 Years or Older

    James W Buehler, Andrew M Kaunitz et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986

    To examine maternal mortality among women aged 35 years or older, we used death certificates from the United States for 1974 through 1978. There were 425 maternal deaths, corresponding to a mortality rate of 58.3 deaths per 100,000 live births. This rate was higher than the rate for women 20 through 34 years of age (race-adjusted relative risk [RR]=4.0; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6 to 4.4). The leading causes of death were obstetric hemorrha…

  • Induced Abortion in a Rural Area of Bangladesh

    Atiqur Rahman Khan, Roger W Rochat et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986Citada por: 4

    Mortality rates from indigenous abortion practices have not been described previously. From September 1982 to August 1983, traditional birth attendants, under medical supervision, collected data on all identifiable pregnant women and pregnancy outcomes in a geographically defined population in rural Bangladesh. Of 9,906 pregnancies, 9,317 ended in live birth, 412 in induced abortion, and 177 in spontaneous abortion. All abortions were induced by …

  • Sterilization-associated deaths

    Lilo T Strauss, Carlos M Huezo et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984

    Except for data from several geographically limited studies, little is known globally about the number and causes of death associated with surgical sterilization. To identify clinical characteristics and problems leading to deaths related to the procedures, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States collaborated in a global mail survey of 4642 physicians. Usable responses …

  • Decision Analysis for Assessing the Impact of Female Sterilization in Bangladesh

    M J Rosenberg, Roger W Rochat et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1982Citada por: 1

    Bangladesh has the highest population density of any large country in the world and a population that continues to expand at a yearly rate of 2.5 percent. Sterilization has been the focus of the government's efforts to reduce the number of unwanted births and slow the growth rate: 159,000 women were sterilized in Bangladesh from July 1979 to June 1980,1 and a goal of 3.4 million sterilizations of men and women over the next five years has been se…

  • Attitudes of Rural Bangladesh Physicians toward Abortion

    M J Rosenberg, Roger W Rochat et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1981

    The law in Bangladesh forbids abortion except to save a womans life. To determine the degree to which rural physicians in Bangladesh support the law this study surveyed the attitudes toward abortion of 376 physicians in rural health care centers. Virtually all of those interviewed (98.9%) indicated that they support the use of abortion in 1 or more circumstances not approved by the law. These attitudes and those of respondents in other surveys in…

  • Contraceptive sterilization

    Charles W Warren, J Carson Smith et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1981Referencias: 9

    Prior to the U.S.‐Mexico Border Survey of Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning conducted by the Centers for Disease Control in 1979, little information was available about the extent to which Mexican‐Americans in the U.S., relative to Anglos, were using male and female sterilization for contraceptive reasons. This paper compares Mexican‐Americans and Anglos for (a) prevalence of contraceptive sterilization; (b) social and demographic cha…

  • Sensitive Questions about Foreign Aid for Abortion

    Roger W Rochat, Roger Rochat et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report1980

    that is because lay people have never had such an opportunity. They have to learn that they have a legitimate, important role as active partners in establishing the contract (covenant) between the professional and the rest of us. The current AMA principles, as sound as they are, can be no more than a private agreement among AMA members unless the rest of us participate in drawing up the agreement

  • Pap Smear Screening

    Roger W Rochat, Roger RochatARTICLEPhylon (19601977

    The decline in the cervical cancer mortality rate in the U.S. over the last 20 years is generally assumed to be due to the widespread use of the Papanicolaou test for the early detection of cervical cancer. An analysis of trends in the cervical cancer mortality rate for blacks in the U.S. lead to the conclusion that the decrease in the rate observed prior to 1965 was due in large measure to an increase in the surgical removal of the cervix for re…

  • Sterilization Failures in Singapore

    Mark C E Cheng, Y M Wong et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1977

    The University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kandang Kerbau Hospital in Singapore, initiated a study in early 1974 of failure rates for various methods of sterilization and the factors responsible for the failures. During the period January 1974 to March 1976, 51 cases of first pregnancy following ligation were discovered. Cumulative failure rates at 24 months were 0.34 per 100 women for abdominal sterilization, 1.67 for culdoscopic, 3…
