Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Public Health Policy
  • Demography

Background:

  • Contraceptive behavior significantly influences fertility rates and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
  • Canadian contraceptive practices have received limited research attention, especially regarding changes in method usage over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in contraceptive use among Canadian women and men from 1984 to 1995.
  • To identify shifts in specific contraceptive method preferences and sterilization rates.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 5,315 women in the 1984 Canadian Fertility Survey.
  • Analyzed data from 3,220 women and 3,449 men in the 1995 General Social Survey.

  • Overall contraceptive use among Canadian women (15-49) decreased from 69% to 60% between 1984 and 1995.
  • Pill and IUD use declined, while condom use increased; sterilization rates rose, particularly among women.
  • Men reported higher condom use but lower partner pill use compared to women's reports.

Conclusions:

  • Canada exhibits unique contraceptive trends, with declining overall use and high sterilization rates, placing it among the lowest in industrialized nations.
  • These shifts complicate public health planning, especially concerning STD infection reduction strategies.
  • The findings highlight the need for updated policies addressing evolving contraceptive behaviors and their health implications.
