An evaluation of the population and development program in Egypt.

J M Stycos, H A Sayed, R Avery

    Demography
    |August 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Egyptian Population and Development Program shows increased contraceptive knowledge and practices in program areas. While fertility and family size attitudes remain unchanged, these improvements suggest future fertility declines.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Previous rural surveys on the Egyptian Population and Development Program yielded inconsistent findings regarding KAP variables.
    • Contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) are crucial indicators for assessing family planning program effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To re-evaluate the impact of the Egyptian Population and Development Program on KAP variables using refined methodologies.
    • To identify specific program effects in rural Egyptian communities.

    Main Methods:

    • A 1982 survey employed enhanced questionnaire design, sampling techniques, and data analysis to measure program impact.
    • Comparison between program and non-program areas to isolate the effects of the intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Refined methods intensified the apparent program impact on KAP variables.
    • Significant differences were observed in contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practices between program and non-program areas.
    • Fertility rates and attitudes toward family size showed minimal immediate change.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite unchanged fertility rates, improvements in contraceptive KAP in program areas indicate potential for future fertility reduction.
    • The Egyptian Population and Development Program demonstrates a positive influence on family planning behaviors.
    • Methodological refinements are critical for accurately assessing public health program impacts.
