The National Population Policy aims to expand voluntary and informed use of contraceptive services. This paper examines the determinants of use of female sterilisation versus other contraceptive methods in rural Bihar, one of the most socially and economically deprived states in India.
Data for 1378 ever-married women aged 15-49 years in rural Bihar, who are currently using contraception, were abstracted from the Second National Family Health Survey. A logistic regression model was developed to understand the determinants of use of female sterilisation versus other contraceptive methods.
Maternal age, the number of living sons, religion, scheduled caste/tribe/backward class status, exposure to mass media and household standard of living are statistically significant determinants of the choice between sterilisation and other contraceptive methods.
The study underscores the need to significantly broaden the contraceptive choice for women in rural Bihar.
国家人口政策旨在扩大避孕服务的自愿和知情使用。本文研究了印度社会经济最贫困的邦之一比哈尔邦农村地区女性绝育与其他避孕方法使用的决定因素。
从第二次全国家庭健康调查中提取了比哈尔邦农村地区1378名年龄在15 - 49岁、目前正在使用避孕措施的已婚妇女的数据。建立了一个逻辑回归模型来了解女性绝育与其他避孕方法使用的决定因素。
产妇年龄、存活儿子数量、宗教、在册种姓/部落/落后阶层身份、接触大众媒体和家庭生活水平是绝育与其他避孕方法选择的统计学显著决定因素。
该研究强调了显著扩大比哈尔邦农村地区妇女避孕选择范围的必要性。
