This study examines the importance of availability and accessibility of family planning services in relation to current contraceptive use in Nepal. The proportion of women who knew of a family planning services outlet in Nepal increased sharply between 1976 and 1981, from 6 percent to 33 percent. The Contraceptive Prevalence Survey data of 1981 indicate that an inverse relationship exists between the prevalence of current contraceptive use and travel time to an outlet. Unfortunately, a majority of current users in Nepal still need more than one hour to reach an outlet. The effects of education and place of residence on contraceptive use become weaker when the analysis is confined to women who have access to an outlet within a half-hour's travel time.
本研究探讨了计划生育服务的可获得性和可及性与尼泊尔当前避孕措施使用情况之间的关系。1976年至1981年间，尼泊尔知晓计划生育服务机构的女性比例大幅上升，从6%增至33%。1981年的避孕普及率调查数据表明，当前避孕措施的使用普及率与前往服务机构的出行时间呈反比。遗憾的是，尼泊尔目前的大多数使用者前往服务机构仍需一个多小时。当分析仅限于那些在半小时出行时间内能够到达服务机构的女性时，教育和居住地点对避孕措施使用的影响就会减弱。
