Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Demography
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Contraceptive use is a key determinant of reproductive health outcomes.
  • Trends in contraceptive method choice, particularly for intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), warrant investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in contraceptive use among women of childbearing age between 1983 and 1997.
  • To examine shifts in the source and utilization of intrauterine contraceptive devices over time.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of three national surveys conducted in 1983, 1990, and 1997.
  • Utilized multistage sampling to ensure representative samples of women of childbearing age.

Main Results:

  • Overall contraceptive use rose from 26% in 1983 to 53% in 1997.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Intrauterine contraceptive device use increased from 32% in 1983 to 44% by 1997.
  • Higher contraceptive uptake, including IUDs, observed in urban settings and among educated women with more children.

    • Conclusions:

    • Targeted interventions are needed for women at risk of non-contraceptive use.
    • Investigating barriers to contraceptive access, utilization, and quality is crucial for policy development.
    • Findings can inform health planners and policymakers to improve reproductive health services.
