  • Use of maternal–child health services and contraception in Guatemala and Panama

    Open AccessCharles W Warren, Richard S Monteith et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1987

    This paper presents data from two recent maternal–child health (MCH) and family planning surveys in Guatemala and Panama and examines the extent to which the use of contraception is influenced by the use of MCH services as compared with the influence of an increase in parity. The findings suggest that utilization of MCH services and parity independently are associated with a woman's decision to use contraception. The study also found two groups t…

  • Public opinion on and potential demand for vasectomy in semi-rural Guatemala

    Roberto Santiso, Jean‐marie Bertrand et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1985References: 8

    In this study of 1,600 men aged 25-50 from semi-rural Guatemala, three-fourths had heard of vasectomy. Among these, 54 per cent approved of it. However, the survey reveals a widespread lack of knowledge regarding the procedure, as well as negative perceptions or doubts about its effect on sexual performance, ability to do hard work, health, and manhood. One-fourth of the respondents who knew of vasectomy and who desired no more children expressed…

    Richard S Monteith, John E Anderson et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1985Cited by: 2

    In 1983, one-quarter of married Guatemalan women aged 15-44 years were using contraception, and female sterilization was the most prevalent method. Fertility rates for the population were at correspondingly high levels, with an overall total fertility rate of about six births per woman. Contraceptive prevalence varied by residence and ethnic group; less than 5 percent of currently married Indian women and about 50 percent of married women in the …

  • Vasectomy in Guatemala

    Roberto Santiso, María Antonieta Pineda et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1981References: 3

    Over a thousand vasectomies are performed yearly by the private family planning association (APROFAM) of Guatemala. This study surveyed the experience of five hundred men interviewed 12 to 36 months after vasectomy. Overall, the experience was reported to be positive. Most wives approved of the operation; the attention received at the clinic was satisfactory; and most men considered their general health, sex drive, and marital relations to be unc…

  • Determinants of fertility in Guatemala

    John E Anderson, Leo Morris et al.ARTICLESocial Biology1980Cited by: 3References: 3

    The 1978 Contraceptive Prevalence Survey for Guatemala provides an opportunity to examine fertility levels and a number of determinants of fertility for three broad segments of the country: the Department of Guatemala and, in the remainder of the country, the Ladino and Indian populations. While Ladinos had a much higher rate of contraceptive use than did Indians, the two groups had similar birth rates. The lack of difference in fertility appears…
