Contraceptive usage during lactation
Data from the National Survey of Family Growth are analyzed to estimate the prevalence of contraceptive use during lactation. Approximately 20 per cent of lactating women were sexually active and did not use a method in months two through six, postpartum. Among method users, the largest proportion chose barrier methods but 14 per cent used oral contraceptives in the early postpartum period. Between 1973 and 1976 there was an increase in the perce…

Physicians vs. Auxiliary Nurse-Midwives as Providers of IUD Services
Several studies have shown that nurses, nurse midwives, and paramedical personnel can provide satisfactory IUD services, but restrictions are still placed upon their provision of these services. A randomized trial of auxiliary nurse midwife and physician IUD services was conducted among 495 interval acceptors in Turkey and 510 postpartum acceptors in the Philippines between 1976 and 1979 to further evaluate this question. Discontinuations due to …
Manual for the Provision of Intrauterine Devices
The intention of this manual was to provide a source of technical information to supplement practical training in the skills necessary for the insertion or removal of IUDS and for the client counseling history-taking and physical examination required. As a teaching document the manual should be used only with the guidance of an experienced trainer and preferably as a part of a training course. Trained health personnel providing IUD services can u…
Training Auxiliary Nurse-Midwives to Provide IUD Services in Turkey and the Philippines
A program for training health personnel for the provision of IUD services has been implemented and evaluated with 14 auxiliary nurse-midwives (ANMs) in Turkey and 13 ANMs in the Philippines. Standardized training materials, including a training manual, checklists for contraindications or complications of IUD use, and patient-management instructions, have been developed. The study suggests that similar training programs should use a reference manu…
Biological and social interactions in the determination of late fertility
The biological and social factors which may interact to determine the level and pattern of fertility during the last decades of the reproductive life are complex, and because of the paucity of data, the mechanisms regulating fertility at late ages must in part remain speculative. This review focuses on two major questions. First, why is there a decline of fertility prior to the menopause? Second, why does reproduction cease at the menopause and w…
A field study of the choice and continuity of use of three contraceptive methods in a rural area of Thailand
The present study was designed to assess the preference for and the continuation rates achieved with two previously available contraceptives (the pill and the IUD), and one newly introduced method (depomedroxypro-gesterone acetate, or DMPA), in a rural area of Thailand. After the presentation of balanced educational material on the three contraceptives, women were offered a free choice of method. It was found that 73·8% of all women adopted DMPA …
Demographic considerations
I should like to discuss both the demographic and public health implications of the matters which have arisen at this meeting. There are clearly some areas of consensus: we all agree that lactation is of fundamental importance, and that the birth interval is important, both for the health of the mother and child and with regard to fertility. Obviously, the longer the birth interval, the fewer births a woman will have during her reproductive life.…
A Reply to Mr Palloni's Comments
It would be useful to try to test a model analogous to this separately for each of the regions distinguished as well as for the total population; such strategy would provide an insight into the effects of interaction that could be operating and these as was discussed before are not tested in Grays article.

A reply to Mr Palloni’s comments
The protracted and inconclusive debate on the cause of the post-war mortality decline in Ceylon reflects our ignorance of this complex historical event and although I am reticent to prolong this already lengthy discussion, I feel that it is necessary to reply to certain points raised by Mr Palloni. The object of my paper 'The Decline of Mortality in Ceylon and the Demographic Effects of Malaria Control'(9) was to re-examine some of the past work …
An estimate of the demographic effects of malaria control
The decline of mortality in Ceylon and the demographic effects of malaria control
This paper is a reappraisal of the decline of mortality in Ceylon with special reference to the effects of malaria control after 1945. Prior to the Second World War there was an association between the level of mortality and the prevalence of malaria by district in Ceylon. It is shown by the use of a regression model and by geographical analysis that this inter-district differential in mortality can be largely, if not exclusively, ascribed to the…
