To examine the relationship between socioeconomic factors affecting contraceptive use among tribal women of Bangladesh with focusing on son preference over daughter.
The study used data gathered through a cross sectional survey on four tribal communities resided in the Rangamati Hill District of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. A multistage random sampling procedure was applied to collect data from 865 currently married women of whom 806 women were currently married, non-pregnant and had at least one living child, which are the basis of this study. The information was recorded in a pre-structured questionnaire. Simple cross tabulation, chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to analyzing data.
The contraceptive prevalence rate among the study tribal women was 73%. The multivariate analyses yielded quantitatively important and reliable estimates of likelihood of contraceptive use. Findings revealed that after controlling for other variables, the likelihood of contraceptive use was found not to be significant among women with at least one son than those who had only daughters, indicating no preference of son over daughter. Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggests that home visitations by family planning workers, tribal identity, place of residence, husband's education, and type of family, television ownership, electricity connection in the household and number of times married are important determinants of any contraceptive method use among the tribal women.
The contraceptive use rate among the disadvantaged tribal women was more than that of the national level. Door-step delivery services of modern methods should be reached and available targeting the poor and remote zones.
研究影响孟加拉国部落妇女避孕措施使用情况的社会经济因素之间的关系，重点关注重男轻女现象。
本研究使用的数据来自对居住在孟加拉国吉大港山区朗加马蒂山区四个部落社区的横断面调查。采用多阶段随机抽样程序，从865名已婚妇女中收集数据，其中806名妇女已婚、未怀孕且至少有一个存活子女，这些是本研究的基础。信息记录在预先设计好的问卷中。进行简单交叉表分析、卡方检验和逻辑回归分析以分析数据。
研究中的部落妇女避孕普及率为73%。多变量分析得出了避孕措施使用可能性的重要且可靠的定量估计。研究结果显示，在控制其他变量后，至少有一个儿子的妇女使用避孕措施的可能性与只有女儿的妇女相比并无显著差异，表明不存在重男轻女现象。多变量逻辑回归分析表明，计划生育工作者的家访、部落身份、居住地点、丈夫的教育程度、家庭类型、是否拥有电视、家庭是否通电以及结婚次数是部落妇女使用任何避孕方法的重要决定因素。
弱势部落妇女的避孕使用率高于国家水平。应针对贫困和偏远地区提供现代避孕方法的上门服务。
