The Indonesian national family planning program
Purpose Indonesia subscribes to rights-based principles of family planning. However, a chasm between principles and practice has long been noted on a global basis, and progress has not been well-documented. This paper aims to assess the extent to which the Indonesian national family planning program has evolved in a manner that is consistent with rights-based principles. Design/methodology/approach The primary source of data was five Indonesian D…

Reassessing the Level of Unintended Pregnancy and Its Correlates in Vietnam
Despite rapidly increasing contraceptive use and rapidly declining fertility, unintended pregnancy and induced abortion remain common in Vietnam. This study reassesses the level of unintended pregnancy in Vietnam and its correlates, drawing on retrospective calendar data gathered for the Vietnam Demographic and Health Survey II. Data from 13,540 “segments” of outcomes and contraceptive practice were analyzed. Based on the calendar data, 40 percen…

Why the rise in adolescent fertility rates in the Dominican Republic in the 1990s
Impact of an Integrated Adolescent Reproductive Health Program in Brazil
An impact evaluation of an integrated school‐ and health‐clinic‐based adolescent reproductive health initiative was undertaken by the State Secretariats of Health and Education in Bahia, Brazil during 1997–99. The project was initiated in response to continued high pregnancy rates among adolescents and growing numbers of new HIV infections among young adults. It sought to promote responsible sexual and health‐seeking behaviors among public second…
Correlates of Sexual Activity and Condom Use among Secondary‐school Students in Urban Peru
Recent data indicate that adolescent fertility rates in Peru remain high and that Peruvian adolescents and young adults account for a disproportionate share of new HIV infections. The present study was undertaken to identify key risk and protective factors for early sexual activity and unprotected sex among secondai‐y‐school students in nine large cities in Peru. Survey data from 6,962 students aged 13–18 are consistent with existing research in …
The Effects of Maternal–child Health Service Utilization on Subsequent Contraceptive Use in Morocco
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…
Family planning program effects on contraceptive use in Morocco, 1992–1995
Vasectomy in the United States, 1991 and 1995
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess whether the controversy surrounding publications linking vasectomy and prostate cancer has had an effect on vasectomy acceptance and practice in the United States. METHODS: National probability surveys of urology, general surgery, and family practices were undertaken in 1992 and 1996. RESULTS: Estimates of the total number of vasectomies performed, population rate, and proportion of practices performing vas…
The Impact of the Family Planning Supply Environment on Contraceptive Intentions and Use in Morocco
Although the extent to which organized family planning programs influence reproductive preferences remains a subject of debate, most observers would grant that such programs play a key role in helping individuals to realize their contraceptive and reproductive intentions. However, few prior studies have quantified the magnitude of this facilitating or enabling effect of family planning services, given existing demand for contraception. This study…
The effects of monetized food aid on reproductive behavior in rural Honduras
The Reliability of Reporting of Contraceptive Behavior in DHS Calendar Data
Detecting Induced Abortions from Reports of Pregnancy Terminations in DHS Calendar Data
This study considers whether pregnancy terminations reported in Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) calendar data can be classified accurately as having been spontaneous or induced based upon other information collected in the survey interview. A classification scheme is proposed that is an adaptation of the method developed by the World Health Organization for categorizing cases in which women admitted to hospitals experienced complications of p…
Breast-feeding, water and sanitation, and childhood malnutrition in the Philippines
This study examines effects and interactions of socioeconomic status, access to water supply and sanitation, and breast-feeding practices in relation to child growth in two provincial cities in the Philippines. Multivariate analysis identified food expenditure per head, education of the household head and gender of the child as significant predictors of nutritional status. The duration of partial and full breast-feeding was negatively (though non…
The relationship between maternal and child nutritional status in rural Guinea
It has become common public practice to consider the nutritional status of children under five years (as measured by anthropometry) as a barometer for the population as a whole, even though no published literature confirms the relationship between the nutritional status of different demographic segments of the population. This study investigates the relationship between maternal and child anthropometry using data from a regional cross‐sectional s…
