Factors affecting the performance of family planning workers: Importance of geographical information systems in empirical analysis
An intensive family planning intervention based on community health workers (CHWs) has been in place in the Matlab area of rural Bangladesh for over a decade. Despite the programme's relative success, considerable variations in the performances of CHWs remain a concern. The purpose of this paper is to explore the determinants of CHWs performances by introducing geographical factors in addition to the conventional socioeconomic and other related v…
Why did Maternal Mortality Decline in Matlab
In 1991, an article on the Maternity Care Program in Matlab, Bangladesh, reported a substantial decline in direct obstetric deaths in the intervention area, but not in the control area. The decline was attributed primarily to the posting of midwives at the village level. In this article, data are presented from the same period and area on a variety of intermediate events. They indicate that the decline in deaths was probably due to the combined e…
Program- and Method-Related Determinants of First DMPA Use Duration in Rural Bangladesh
This article examines the determinants of first-time use durations of the injectable contraceptive Depo Medroxy Progesterone Acetate (DMPA) for rural Bangladeshi women. The method's side effects were defined by 200 first-time users in Matlab district during lengthy, open-ended interviews. Women with many children used the method longer than did women of low parity. Those who experienced side effects had shorter use durations than those who did no…
