We examined the impacts of nationwide voluntary medical male circumcision efforts in Tanzania. Using Demographic and Health Surveys data, we found that circumcision rates increased from 37% to 47% in regions targeted by the program. Those who took up medical male circumcision were younger, more educated, wealthier, and more likely to use condoms. Efforts going forward should focus on stimulating circumcision demand among more vulnerable men.
我们研究了坦桑尼亚全国范围的男性自愿性割礼活动的影响。利用人口与健康调查数据，我们发现，在该项目覆盖的地区，割礼率从 37%上升到 47%。那些接受医疗割礼的人更年轻、受教育程度更高、更富有，而且更有可能使用避孕套。未来的工作重点应该放在刺激更多弱势男性的割礼需求上。
