    Senegal

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • Senegal faces high fertility and infant mortality rates.
    • Rapid urbanization and rural-to-urban migration are driven by agricultural challenges and population growth.
    • Child health issues are prevalent, linked to poor sanitation and nutrition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze preliminary findings from the 1986 Senegal Demographic and Health Survey (DHS).
    • To assess trends in fertility, family planning use, and child health indicators.
    • To understand factors influencing contraceptive adoption and vaccination coverage.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the 1986 Senegal Demographic and Health Survey (DHS).
    • Collected information from 4,415 women aged 15-49 regarding family planning and child health.

  • Measured height and weight of children aged 6-36 months.

    • Main Results:

    • A slight decline in the birth rate is suggested, with a total fertility rate (TFR) potentially decreasing from 6.5 in 1981.
    • Contraceptive use increased, but modern method use remains low (2.7% in 1986).
    • Knowledge of modern contraceptives significantly increased, yet barriers like desire to become pregnant and religious objections persist.

    Conclusions:

    • Fertility may be slightly declining in Senegal, influenced by increased contraceptive knowledge but limited by low modern method uptake.
    • Child health indicators, including vaccination card possession, show disparities, particularly between Dakar and rural areas.
    • Addressing barriers to family planning and improving child health services are crucial for Senegal's demographic and health outcomes.
