A self-administered opportunistic questionnaire was given to 232 community health extension workers (Chews) in Kaduna state, Nigeria. Seventy-eight were male and 154 female. All could recall at least one modern method of family planning. The oral contraceptive pill (OCP) (85.8%), injectable contraceptives (85.3%), and the intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) (56.0%), were most widely known about. Emergency contraception was not known about. A high percentage of female Chews have practised family planning: 115 (74.7%) have used at least one method and this is more among the married women. Methods ever used included injectable contraceptive (57.4%), OCP (47.0%), and IUCD (22.6%). Fifty percent of females were current users. Non-current users were likely to be between the ages of 25 - 29 years especially when not married, and 35 - 39 years when married. Reasons for the non-use of family planning by female Chews were side effects, not being married, not being sexually active and religious beliefs.
一份自我管理的机会性调查问卷被发放给尼日利亚卡杜纳州的232名社区卫生推广工作者（CHEWs）。其中78名男性，154名女性。所有人都能回忆起至少一种现代计划生育方法。口服避孕药（OCP）（85.8%）、注射用避孕药（85.3%）和宫内节育器（IUCD）（56.0%）最为人所知。紧急避孕则无人知晓。高比例的女性CHEWs曾实施过计划生育：115名（74.7%）至少使用过一种方法，且已婚女性中这一比例更高。曾使用过的方法包括注射用避孕药（57.4%）、OCP（47.0%）和IUCD（22.6%）。50%的女性为当前使用者。非当前使用者可能年龄在25 - 29岁之间，尤其是未婚时；已婚时则在35 - 39岁之间。女性CHEWs不使用计划生育的原因有副作用、未婚、没有性活动以及宗教信仰。
