This report demonstrates that the estimates of contraceptive prevalence based on surveys are substantially lower than those based on the service statistics generated by the Indian family planning program. The reasons for this discrepancy were examined by contacting a subsample of acceptors recorded by female health workers as users in their registers. This inquiry indicated that the health workers themselves knew that 15-39 percent of the women who had been recorded as users of reversible methods were not really using them. About 19-27 percent of the recorded users of IUDs and only 3-4 percent of the recorded condom users confirmed use of the devices. Overall, the nonusers formed 59 and 64 percent of the recorded users contacted in Bharuch and Panchmahals districts, respectively. The estimates of nonuse of contraceptives in the follow-up survey are high enough to reconcile most of the observed discrepancy between the two sets of estimates of contraceptive prevalence.
本报告表明，基于调查得出的避孕普及率估计值远低于基于印度计划生育项目生成的服务统计数据得出的估计值。通过联系女性卫生工作者登记册中记录为使用者的接受者子样本，对这种差异的原因进行了调查。该调查表明，卫生工作者自己知道，被记录为使用可逆方法的女性中有15% - 39%实际上并未使用这些方法。在记录的宫内节育器使用者中，约19% - 27%的人以及记录的避孕套使用者中仅3% - 4%的人确认使用了这些器具。总体而言，在巴鲁赫和潘奇马哈尔斯地区，未使用者分别占所联系记录使用者的59%和64%。后续调查中未使用避孕措施的估计比例高到足以弥合两组避孕普及率估计值之间观察到的大部分差异。
