The male versus female perspective on family planning
Males have often been neglected in both family planning programmes and in surveys used to design and evaluate such programmes. A 1988 study on fertility, family planning and AIDS in Kinshasa, Zaire, provides comparable data on 3140 men and 3485 women of reproductive age which served as the basis for analysing male/female differences. The study indicated a fair degree of similarity in the attitudes, beliefs, knowledge levels and practices of men a…
Aids-related Knowledge, Sexual Behavior, and Condom Use among Men and Women in Kinshasa, Zaire
This study was conducted in 1988 among a random sample of 6,625 men and women of reproductive age in all 24 administrative zones of Kinshasa, the capital city of Zaire, to determine existing levels of knowledge regarding AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), sexual behavior, knowledge and use of condoms in marital and extramarital relations; perceived risk of AIDS, and attitudes toward testing for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Awar…
Sexual behavior and condom use in 10 sites of Zaire
This research was conducted among 1000 men and 1000 women in five urban and five rural sites in Zaire to obtain information on sexual behavior, especially practices which affect the risk of HIV transmission. Mean coital frequency was 1.7 relations per week for the total population, compared to approximately 4 relations per week among the “sexually active.” One‐half of men and one‐third of women reported having changed their behavior because of AI…
Duration and correlates of post-partum abstinence in four sites in Zaire
Post-partum events and fertility control in Kinshasa, Zaïre
Contraceptive prevalence surveys from sub-Saharan Africa typically show low rates of method use. The current study of one zone in Kinshasa, Zaïre, provides a more detailed view of fertility control in an urban population by examining the relative duration of breast-feeding, amenor-rhoea and sexual abstinence during the post-partum period. While motivations to prevent pregnancy remain high until the youngest child is over 24 months, the average du…
