This study uses data from the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) of 1988 to examine factors determining the continued low levels of contraceptive use in Ghana. The women currently using efficient contraception are those who have sexual intercourse regularly, who discuss family planning with their partner, whose husbands approve of the use of family planning, and who live in the northern sector of the country. The finding that husband's approval is an important determinant of efficient contraceptive use has significant policy implications for Ghana and other African countries, to motivate both husbands and wives to share fertility control responsibilities.
本研究使用1988年加纳人口与健康调查（GDHS）的数据，来考察决定加纳避孕药具使用率持续偏低的因素。目前使用有效避孕措施的女性是那些有规律性交、与伴侣讨论计划生育、丈夫赞成使用计划生育且居住在该国北部地区的女性。丈夫的赞成是有效避孕措施使用的一个重要决定因素这一发现，对加纳和其他非洲国家具有重大政策意义，以促使夫妻双方共同承担生育控制责任。
