  • Awareness and quality of knowledge regarding HIV/Aids among women in India

    Rimjhim M Aggarwal, Rimjhim Aggarwal et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2006

    This paper examines the determinants of women's knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS using data from a nationally representative survey in India. Although around 45 per cent of sample women had heard about the disease, their knowledge regarding its modes of transmission and prevention is found to be limited. To explore the possibility that there may be a different process that determines awareness as opposed to quality of knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS, a …

  • Is breast-feeding a substitute for contraception in family planning?

    Open AccessJeffrey J RousARTICLEDemography2001

    Using data from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey, I disentangle the complex interrelationship between breastfeeding, postpartum amenorrhea, and choice of contraceptive method. I find evidence that women substitute breast-feeding for contraception. Further, endogeneity bias, if not controlled, would cause the relationship to be slightly overstated. In addition, the results suggest that although increased education and income resul…

  • The Effects of Maternal–child Health Service Utilization on Subsequent Contraceptive Use in Morocco

    Open AccessDavid R Hotchki, David R Hotchkiss et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1999

    There are a number of reasons for anticipating that contact by women in developing country settings with modern maternal–child health (MCH) services will lead to increased use of family planning services. Indeed, the expectation of such a relationship underlies the integrated service delivery strategy that has been adopted on a more or less global basis. However, the available empirical evidence in support of this proposition is inconclusive. Thi…

  • Household Health Expenditures in Nepal

    Open AccessDavid R Hotchki, D R Hotchkiss et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning1998Cited by: 4

    His Majesty's Government of Nepal has embarked on an ambitious social welfare programme of increasing the accessibility of primary education and health care services in rural communities. The implications on the financing of health care services are substantial, as the number of health posts has increased twelve-fold from 1992 to 1996, from 200 to 2597. To strengthen health care financing, government policy-makers are considering a number of fina…

  • Effect of provider characteristics on choice of contraceptive provider

    Open AccessJohn S Akin, Jeffrey J RousARTICLEDemography1997Cited by: 6References: 10

    We use surveys of households and health-care facilities conducted in the same area at the same time to determine which characteristics of providers attract users of contraceptives. By using the full-information maximum-likelihood technique to jointly estimate choice of contraceptive method and choice of provider, we avoid self-selection bias. Results support the need for modeling quality and for jointly estimating the choice of contraceptive meth…
