Nurse-Midwife Insertion of the Copper T in Thailand
Nicholas H. Wright, Chusie Sujpluem, Allan G. Rosenfield, Somsak Varakamin, Nurse-Midwife Insertion of the Copper T in Thailand: Performance, Acceptance, and Programmatic Effects, Studies in Family Planning, Vol. 8, No. 9 (Sep., 1977), pp. 237-243
Attitudes toward Abortion in Thailand
A majority of senior Thai medical students favored induced abortion in many circumstances not now considered legal. While 20 percent would not perform abortions for any reason, many of these would refer cases to colleagues. Independent variables consistently and significantly influencing attitudes conservatively were: female sex, certain medical schools attended, larger ideal family size, intention not to teach in a medical school as a career, ha…
Family Planning and Infant Mortality Rate Decline in the United States
Sri Lanka
The 1968 decision of the Sir Lanka Ministry of Health to allow paramedical distribution of oral conctraceptives at a reduced price greatly expanded availability. Available data on the immediate effects of this policy indicate that oral contraceptive acceptors increased significantly and there was no reduction in the number of other contraceptive acceptors. A policy decision on nonclinical distribution must be implemented rigorously by adequate tr…

Ceylon
Several articles in this bulletin have been addressed to the problem of analyzing the relative effects of demographic factors and marital fertility on birth rate decline in countries with national family planning programs. This account covers recent trends in Ceylon and discusses possible future effects of the Ceylonese age and marital structure on National Program goals. It was prepared by Nicholas H. Wright M.D. formerly Medical Advisor Populat…
Recent fertility change in Ceylon and prospects for the national family planning program
1) The crude birth rate decline in Ceylon between 1953–1963 occurred, for the most part, because of changes in the age structure and the marital status of women 15–49. Marital fertility changed very little between the two years. These developments clearly slowed Ceylon’s rate of population growth. 2) The continuing and increasing decline of the crude birth rate after 1963 is perhaps more due to declining marital fertility rather than continuing c…
