In a study of 2000 women volunteers seeking contraceptive services at the Family Planning Clinic (FPC), University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, 66.2 per cent chose the intrauterine device (IUD) making it the most common method of contraception. Factors influencing choice of contraceptive methods were advice from friends and family members, intended duration of use and information from the media. Ignorance, fear and unfounded cultural beliefs were factors responsible for the delay in seeking contraceptive advice. The mass media was an important source of information for most of the women. We conclude that the IUD is the contraceptive of choice in our clinic because of the highly selective nature of our clients. In order to provide a service with a broader clientele, we suggest the incorporation of other priority reproductive health services such as cervical and breast cancer screening, prevention and treatment of reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.
在一项针对2000名在尼日利亚伊巴丹大学学院医院计划生育诊所寻求避孕服务的女性志愿者的研究中，66.2%的人选择了宫内节育器（IUD），使其成为最常用的避孕方法。影响避孕方法选择的因素包括朋友和家庭成员的建议、预期使用期限以及媒体提供的信息。无知、恐惧和毫无根据的文化观念是导致寻求避孕建议延迟的因素。大众媒体是大多数女性重要的信息来源。我们得出结论，由于我们诊所客户的高度选择性，宫内节育器是我们诊所首选的避孕方法。为了为更广泛的客户群体提供服务，我们建议纳入其他优先的生殖健康服务，如宫颈癌和乳腺癌筛查、生殖道感染和包括艾滋病毒/艾滋病在内的性传播疾病的预防和治疗。
