  • Cameroon's slow fertility transition

    Jean-Christophe Fotso, J G Cleland et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2024References: 30

    We interrogate the proposition that men's attitudes have constrained the fertility transition in Cameroon, where fertility remains high and contraceptive use low despite much socio-economic progress. We use five Demographic and Health Surveys to compare trends in desired family size among young women and men and analyse matched monogamous couple data from the two most recent surveys to examine wives' and husbands' desires to stop childbearing and…

  • Assessment of a New Approach to Family Planning Services in Rural Pakistan

    Mehboob Sultan, J G Cleland et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2002Cited by: 8References: 10

    Objectives. In 1993, the government of Pakistan started a new approach to the delivery of contraceptive services by training literate married women to provide doorstep advice and supplies in their own and neighboring communities. This report assesses whether this community-based approach is starting to have an impact on contraceptive use in rural areas. Methods. A clustered nationally representative survey was used to collect data on contraceptiv…

  • The Link Between Postnatal Abstinence and Extramarital Sex in Cote d'lvoire

    Open AccessMohamed M Ali, J G Cleland et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2001Cited by: 2References: 8

    Whether the link, found in Benin, between postnatal abstinence and husbands' extramarital contacts can be generalized to other West African countries is assessed in this study. Data from the 1994 Demographic and Health Survey, Cote d'lvoire, obtained from monogamous husbands concerning their extramarital sexual behavior in the two months preceding the survey were linked to data reported by wives concerning postnatal abstinence over the same time …

  • Demographic Data Collection in Less Developed Countries 1946-1996

    J G Cleland, John ClelandARTICLEPopulation Studies1996Cited by: 11

    This evolution over the last 50 years of data collection systems in less developed countries is assessed. The progress made by civil registration systems has been extremely disappointing. Except in Central and South America, their role in providing vital rate estimates is still very limited. In contrast, the promulgation of regular population censuses has been a success, particularly in Africa. The relative merits and demerits of different types …

  • The Effect of Parental Education on Marital Fertility in Developing Countries

    J G Cleland, John Cleland et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1988Cited by: 26

    The effects of parents' education on marital fertility are analysed with data from 38 Surveys in the WFS programme, and a two-parameter model in which the age-dependent level of fertility and a duration-dependent slope of fertility are estimated. The level parameter reflects post-partum infecundity and, in some populations, contraceptive spacing of births. The slope parameter reflects parity-specific birth control. The effects of the husband's an…

  • The Effect of birth spacing on childhood mortality in Pakistan

    J G Cleland, John G F Cleland et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1985Cited by: 16References: 5

    In this study retrospective data from the 1975 Pakistan Fertility Survey are used to examine the effects of birth spacing on infant and child mortality. The length of the preceding interval between live births emerges as a major determinant of mortality. The effect persists for rural and urban families, for children of uneducated and educated mothers, for both boys and girls, and for large and small families. The possibility that this relationshi…

  • The World Fertility Survey and Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys

    John E Anderson, J G Cleland et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1984Cited by: 5

    This paper deals with the findings of the World Fertility Survey (WFS) and Contraceptive Prevalence Surveys (CPSs) in five areas of common interest: fertility, contraceptive use, measuring the effect of the availability of contraceptives on levels of use, the unmet need for family planning services, and breastfeeding. The comparisons have several implications for those designing surveys of fertility and family planning in developing countries, am…

  • A Critique of KAP Studies and Some Suggestions for Their Improvement

    J G Cleland, John ClelandARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1973Cited by: 7

    The KAP tradition emerged from the historical need to measure the extent to which overt hostility to the idea and organization of family planning services existed. As growing numbers of countries have implemented family planning programs without arousing widespread and active opposition however the importance of this role has diminished. The usefulness of KAP studies now depends on their contribution to the evaluation and guidance of existing pro…
