▼ Abstract provided by author; Family planning is conscious and deliberate process of determining the number and interval between the children one bears. It incorporates reliable methods of contraception combined with the use of fertility awareness methods. In Namibia, family planning services are freely available in all public health facilities throughout the country. Although widely understood and used, family planning has not yet produced the desired results of reducing unwanted and high-risk pregnancies; It is against this background that the researcher interviewed women attending family planning services in Otjiwarongo district to explore and describe their experiences when utilising these services; This study is relevant and significant because it will supply managers at all levels of health care delivery with valuable information about the quality of the services being provided; The study was qualitative in nature and descriptive in design to facilitate eliciting the experiences women have with family planning services over a period of time. To be included in the sample, women had to be long-term users of family planning services as evidenced by continual visits to health care facilities; This study revealed wide variations of women's experiences with, and perceptions of the family planning services offered in Otjiwarongo district. Despite the fact that some women were generally satisfied with the friendly atmosphere and the respect that they received, some women expressed their dissatisfaction about the services; Most women in the study expressed satisfaction with regard to information and mechanisms to ensure continuity, the availability of contraceptive supplies and the fact that services were offered free of charge; However, findings from this study further revealed that health care workers sometimes do not receive the women, especially the youth in friendly manner and treat them with disrespect. Some women indicated that they were not given chances to express their feelings about contraceptives and family planning in general. It was also revealed that women attending family planning services did not receive adequate information regarding different contraceptive methods, their contra-indications and side effects. Also featuring prominently in this study were reports that respect for privacy and confidentiality was not observed by health care workers, while some expressed dissatisfaction with long waiting hours at clinics; Based on these findings, the researcher recommends that a client-centred orientation and adolescent friendly family planning services be adopted as the most effective approach to counselling and providing information to clients. To ensure informed choice, health workers should provide accurate, clear and useful information and advice about reproductive health, family planning and correct use of contraceptives methods, while taking privacy and confidentiality in consideration; Family planning services should be part of an integrated and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health programs.… Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ This study examined and compared factors that influenced lack of male interest in the use of family planning between the urban and rural communities of Monze District in the Southern Province of Zambia. It discusses findings from married male respondents and participants of a focus group discussion. Information was obtained from 380 men of which half (190) were from rural chief Choongo's area and another 190 were from Monze urban. To supplement the findings of the study, a focus group discussion of 12 men from rural were conveniently selected from Nteme Ward in chief Choongo's area while for the urban group, 12 men were conveniently selected from Monze Main Market. "The overall total sample for the study was therefore 380 men. The study was conducted from February to April 2001 with the help of four (4) trained Midwives in data collection. An interview schedule was used as a. data collection tool. Qualitative data was collected through 2 focus group discussions.Key findings of the study included the following:Age, education, number of children and residence^as some of the demographic characteristics that affect family planning services for both rural and urban communifies.Knowledge on family planning services and contraceptive methods were high for both rural and urban. •A gap still does exist between Zambian men's knowledge of family planning and their practice.-XlllLack of access to family plamiing services, inadequate knowledge on family plaiming and desire for more children contribute to low use of family plarming services.Some men do not accept available contraceptive methods due to fear of preconceived ideas about the side-effects. men who reported to be using modem methods of family plarming rely predominantly on their wives to use these methods.The condom is the commonest male method used. The use is higher in urban than in the rural due to adequate media advertisement possibly in the hope of preventing HIV/AIDS. Inter-spousal communication was high for both rural and urban indicating a possible increase in family planning use in future. * • From a policy perspective men involvement in reproductive health and family planning should be viewed as desirable not* only for equity reasons, but because programmes and health outcomes-for both men and women are likely to improve. This can be done by ensuring appropriate male services and information in the existing facilities and to support research on male attitudes and practice as well as other socio-cultural factors that affect the use of family planning. Following research fmdtngs, it is imperative to apply effective interventions so as to increase male interest in the use of family planning.

▼ This study aimed to determine the impact of peer educators on family planning usage in Lusaka HIV clinics from a gender perspective. This was achieved by examining the perceptions of ART clients on the quality of family planning in the TIDES supported clinics and clinics that were not supported by TIDES. Two sets of clinics were compared to see the difference in perceptions; determining the gendered trends among ART clients on contraceptives after the introduction of peer education and by assessing the gendered processes through which peer education impacts on family planning. This study used both qualitative and quantitative research methods to examine the views of 80 HIV + individuals who are on ART, 40 from clinics that were supported by TIDES and 40 from two randomly picked control site i.e clinics that were not supported by TIDES; 9 nurses, 6 from the TIDES supported clinics and 3 from the control sites and 7 peer educators from the TIDES sites. Maximum variation purposive sampling was used to select the sample. The target population consisted of HIV+ women and men, nurses and peer educators. Data collection tools included the use of questionnaires administered to the ART clients, 4 in-depth interviewswith nurses and 2 with peer educators. Quantitatively, the study will use tables, graphs, and the computer based social science statistical package (SPSS). The study findings show that peer education had an average effect on the uptake of family planning. The peer educators were able to reach both men and women with family planning information. They taught women the importance of decision making when it comes to family planning. The counseling given by the peer educators seemed to be appreciated by the ART clients in the TIDES supported sites. Even though they seemed to have gotten the information and knowledge on family planning and double protection, family planning use in all 16 TIDES sites did not change much. Many of the counseled clients still opted to use condoms as family planning, because that was their preferred method or because of the myths and misconceptions surrounding HIV and family planning they could not accept any method. More men should be employed as peer counselor to enhance male involvement in family planning issues. Women should be informed that they have the right to make a decision when it comes to family planning. The family planning and HIV care integration should continue

▼ In Zambia, maternal mortality rate is estimated at 649 women per 100, 000 per live births. Such deaths are not only deeply rooted in the provision of poor quality health services, but also gender in relations between men and women. Both men and women make important contributions to the production of children yet, demographic studies of fertility and family planning in the past have tended to focus on women alone. Men play important often dominant roles in decisions crucial to women's reproductive health. This study examines the levels and patterns of male participation and seeks to identify the obstacles men face in safe motherhood.The sample comprised of thirty married women and men of ages between 18 and 49 and interviewed were four medical personnel. Data were collected through focus group discussions and an in-depth discussion with medical personnel at Kafue Mission in Kafue district.The study established that the decision-making privileges are enjoyed by men and fundamentally affect women's health status. It further revealed that there was a high level of knowledge of the types of Family planning available. However, there was a discrepancy in knowledge and use of family planning methods. It was also established that lack of proper spousal communication led to the gap in men's knowledge leading to their lack of positive participation. The most prominent barriers to male involvement in maternal health included low levels of knowledge, social stigma, shyness and embarrassment and job responsibilities. Though medical personnel also foresaw some obstacles, primarily in the forms of hospital policy, manpower and space problems, they unanimously felt the option of couples-friendly maternal health services would enhance the quality of care and understanding of health information given to pregnant women, echoing attitudes expressed by most pregnant women and their husbands.However, it is widely recognized that men are often marginalized by maternal health services and are provided with limited access to basic information and knowledge to help them make informed choices and decisions in order to protect and promote their own health as well as that of their families. As a result men tend to get second hand information from their wives after they visit family planning and antenatal clinics. Due to this, it was found that information that men should know is not known to them for example risks of pregnancy and their planning for delivery.Men's participation in safe motherhood is a promising strategy for addressing some of the country's most pressing reproductive health problems. The study concludes with recommendations to service providers and agencies to include men as partners by adopting a life cycle approach which identifies and services their needs in a way that is both cultural and gender sensitive. Men, starting at an early age when they are still secondary school going children, must be targeted through education to share sexual, contraceptive and parenting responsibilities so to plan their children.

▼ The study investigated the determinants of emergency contraception use among young women (15-24 years old) as a preventive measure of unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions. The research employed a quantitative method were a descriptive cross sectional study design was used. The study was conducted in Lusaka District among randomly selected 392 young women aged 15 to 24. A pre-tested structured self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Collected data was entered in Microsoft excel spread-sheet, and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used for statistical analysis. Findings indicated that the awareness of EC was low, only 20 percent (n-80) were able to mention Emergency contraceptive pill, commonly known as „morning after pills‟. Of those who mentioned ECP, about 24 percent knew the recommended time- frame for using the method and 36 percent mentioned at least one symptom of side effects of EC. The common sources of information about EC reported were friends (60 percent), and the media (43.8 percent). Generally, attitude towards the use of EC was positive as 58.2 percent of the respondents had intentions to use EC in future and nearly half (48.5 percent) were for the idea that EC needed to be widely accepted and promoted among the youths. While for others, they had no intention to use or promote the use because of the presumed side effects such as infertility and it might encourage unprotected sexual intercourse and immorality, which would lead to the spread of sexually transmitted infections. However, only 4.3 percent (n-17) of the young women had used ECP at the time of the study. Lack of knowledge about EC was pointed out as the main reasons for not using EC. Awareness of EC and side effects were significant determinants of the use of EC at p<0.05. In conclusion, the study indicated that information about EC was generally low, mainly due to lack of awareness activities, especially from health workers, although young women are eager to learn more about it. It also showed that a number of young women who had heard about the EC method did not have adequate information, mainly because the main sources of information about the method were friends. There is need to increase knowledge about EC, and avail youth-friendly reproductive health services to uphold preventive behaviour. There is need for the health care providers, scientific agencies, women organization, the media industry, and the other concerned institutions to play an active role in disseminating accurate information about EC. The media industry should be effectively used to provide correct information about emergency contraception through public debates and advertising campaigns so that many can learn about EC, as it is the key to knowing more about other contraceptives. Advance provision and promotion of the proven emergency contraceptive methods would likely increase the use.

▼ Whereas the dramatic struggle for the suffrage has received extensive academic attention the feminist campaigns that came immediately after 1918 have been largely ignored. This thesis argues that there was vigorous grassroots feminist activity in the inter-war years which can be seen in the activities of the Society for the Promotion of Birth Control Clinics (SPBCC) who in the post-suffrage era explored their new opportunities. Themes running through this thesis include feminism, grassroots activity, locality and modernism. This research utilises the theoretical framework of comparative social movement theory as well as historical research. A Collective Biography of SPBCC committee members has been constructed to give a profile of activists.This thesis argues that the debate within the post-suffrage society the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship gave backing to the new feminist master frame which emphasised women’s role as mothers. This strengthened the SPBCC which campaigned to give working class mothers the knowledge to limit their families, something available privately to middle class mothers. This research explores how the SPBCC tried to pursue its case by creating alliances with the National Council of Women and the Women’s Citizenship Association,This study shows how local SPBCC groups attempted to prove the need for birth control clinics by mobilising and founding clinics. Middle class women played an important part in this direct action, but working class women, either individually or from the Women’s Cooperative Guilds also participated. Class differences were important, but this research shows that volunteers, who were all mothers themselves, stressed the common bond of motherhood. The SPBCC both locally and nationally strove to counter the condemnation of the medical profession and the Churches. The interplay of religious and political forces is seen in case studies in Stockport, Glasgow, Manchester and Salford, Liverpool. The thesis compares the birth control strategies of the confrontational birth control pioneer Marie Stopes with the more analytical approach of Eleanor Rathbone of NUSEC. This research reveals that some SPBCC members felt they had to make uncomfortable choices between class and gender allegiances or feminism and eugenics.This thesis demonstrates how the SPBCC tested the new political structures by attempting to place birth control on the agenda of national political parties, particularly the Labour Party. However, there was more success in building birth control policy advocacy coalitions at the local level.In 1931 the Labour Government issued Memorandum 153/MCW which allowed municipal clinics to provide birth control advice but this thesis questions to what extent this was a victory. Arguably the SPBCC did not achieve its main objective but it did empower its feminist members in a wide range of political activities.

▼ BACKGROUD:Zambia has a high maternal mortality ratio of 591/100 000 live births with unsafe abortions being one of the major causes. Adolescents and young women are particularly vulnerable to unsafe induced abortion with its complications. It has been estimated that widespread use of emergency contraception pills (ECPs) could play a critical role in reducing the need for abortion and in lowering the number of unwanted pregnancies and consequent need for abortion. Although it is included in the family planning method mix, there is limited awareness of this method among women. OBJECTIVE: To determine knowledge, practice and attitudes towards Emergency Contraception (EC) among women with abortion at UTH, Lusaka.METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive study design and an interview schedule were administered to 200 women admitted to UTH with abortion aged between 18-49 years old. A pilot study was done at UTH before the main study which resulted in a few minor changes. The actual study was conducted in Ward COS at University Teaching Hospital (UTH). Systematic random sampling was used to select the 200 participants. The women were approached individually on the ward and interviewed in privacy if they consented. Data collected was checked for consistency in the answers given and recorded on each day. Data were entered and analyzed on Epi Info V6.4. Data analyzed has been presented in form of frequency tables, pie charts, bar graphs and cross tabulations which were used to determine special relationships between variables. RESULTS: The median age of participants was 24 years. A large percentage of respondents (92.5%) did not know about emergency contraception (EC) and only very few respondents (7.5%) had heard about emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs). The most common source of information about emergency contraception (EC) was from friends (80%) and only 20% got from health care providers. The most striking factor is that knowledge of ECPs is strongly associated with level of education with Q, 0.01 (OR = 9.5; 95% CI: 3.06 - 29.87). Respondents who had college education were twice more likely to have heard of EC as compared to 33.3% with low education level. Of the respondents who were aware of EC majority (60%) with P 0.01 (OR = 0.00; 95% CI: 0.00 - 0.02) had high EC knowledge as compared to 40% who had medium and low EC knowledge. Factors such as age, place of residence and marital status were not significantly associated with EC awareness.The contraceptive ever use rate was 78.5% and among the users the most common methods were the oral pill (65%) and condoms (38.5%). Among the few who knew about EC no one had ever used it and only 6.7% could correctly mention the time interval within which ECPs can work. After the method was explained 65% of the respondents indicated that they would use EC if needed. Fertility awareness is low among women with 76% not knowing when in the menstrual cycle they were likely to become pregnant.CONCLUSION: Knowledge about Emergency contraception (EC) is very low among the women admitted…

▼ Abortion is a major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity in sub-Saharan Africa. This is because many women are, for various reasons that include poor quality of existing services, fear or distrust of methods or conflict between partners about childbearing goals, still not using modem contraceptive methods to prevent unplanned pregnancies (The Alan Guttmacher Institute). The aim of the study was to determine impediments to contraceptive use in women admitted with abortion at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH). The objective was to find out whether religious influence, spouse/partner opposition and fear of contraceptive side effects are barriers to contraceptive use. Also to assess the accessibility of family planning services in terms of distance from source and the participant's knowledge of the safe period. A cross sectional study was conducted. A study sample size of 146 was calculated at 95 percent confidence level and adjusted for finite population. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the study participants.The study participants were selected from women admitted to the UTH gynaecology admission ward COS, in Lusaka, Zambia.Data was collected using a structured interview schedule administered by two research assistants.The results of the study showed that the majority of the women 81 (55.5 percent) were aged 25 years and below, married 110 (75.3 percent), unemployed 110 (75.3 percent), many had poor education 69 (47.3 percent) and lived in high density residential areas 92 (63.0 percent). Though the source of family plaiming services was within 30 minutes walking distance to the majority of the women 109 (79.0 percent), 70 (47.9 percent) of these women had never used any family plarming method before. 41 (31.3 percent) said they did not prevent this pregnancy because they had no method at hand. Knowledge of the condom as a contraceptive method was low 21 (14.4 percent) in comparison to the ZDHS2001-2002 figure, which was reported to be 94.1 percent in the general population. The majority 110 (75.3 percent) had poor knowledge of the safe period. Partner/spouse approval seemed to increase with the increase in the number of children a woman had. The majority of the study participants lacked autonomy in decision-making on contraceptive usage irrespective of their educational level, employment status, or, parity.It is evident therefore that, in order to increase contraceptive uptake, there is need to incorporate fertility education in schools from as low as upper primary school. Service providers must discuss side effects of the various contraceptive methods in order to allay unwarranted fear by clients. There is also a great need to educate the women folk of their individual right to decide on the use of contraceptives without having to consult their spouse/partner. After all, it is the woman who suffers the consequences of abortion.

▼ Whereas the dramatic struggle for the suffrage has received extensive academic attention the feminist campaigns that came immediately after 1918 have been largely ignored. This thesis argues that there was vigorous grassroots feminist activity in the inter-war years which can be seen in the activities of the Society for the Promotion of Birth Control Clinics (SPBCC) who in the post-suffrage era explored their new opportunities. Themes running through this thesis include feminism, grassroots activity, locality and modernism. This research utilises the theoretical framework of comparative social movement theory as well as historical research. A Collective Biography of SPBCC committee members has been constructed to give a profile of activists. This thesis argues that the debate within the post-suffrage society the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship gave backing to the new feminist master frame which emphasised women's role as mothers. This strengthened the SPBCC which campaigned to give working class mothers the knowledge to limit their families, something available privately to middle class mothers. This research explores how the SPBCC tried to pursue its case by creating alliances with the National Council of Women and the Women's Citizenship Association,This study shows how local SPBCC groups attempted to prove the need for birth control clinics by mobilising and founding clinics. Middle class women played an important part in this direct action, but working class women, either individually or from the Women's Cooperative Guilds also participated. Class differences were important, but this research shows that volunteers, who were all mothers themselves, stressed the common bond of motherhood. The SPBCC both locally and nationally strove to counter the condemnation of the medical profession and the Churches. The interplay of religious and political forces is seen in case studies in Stockport, Glasgow, Manchester and Salford, Liverpool. The thesis compares the birth control strategies of the confrontational birth control pioneer Marie Stopes with the more analytical approach of Eleanor Rathbone of NUSEC. This research reveals that some SPBCC members felt they had to make uncomfortable choices between class and gender allegiances or feminism and eugenics. This thesis demonstrates how the SPBCC tested the new political structures by attempting to place birth control on the agenda of national political parties, particularly the Labour Party. However, there was more success in building birth control policy advocacy coalitions at the local level. In 1931 the Labour Government issued Memorandum 153/MCW which allowed municipal clinics to provide birth control advice but this thesis questions to what extent this was a victory. Arguably the SPBCC did not achieve its main objective but it did empower its feminist members in a wide range of political activities.

▼ Family planning programs have long been recognized for their importance in improving the health of women and children and in reducing population growth rates. However, Zambia like many other African countries has lagged behind other world regions in the adoption and expansion of family planning. Given the critical role that African men play in family decisions, men's support and involvement are essential for family planning to 'become more widespread(Roudi.F and Ashford. L, 1996). This paper has identified factors contributing to low utilisation of family planning among men in Zambia. It discusses findings from male respondents, health workers and participants of the focus group discussion. A total number of 181 men were interviewed on the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. Three Companies having a large men population, such as ZCCM, were conveniently selected for the study. The main market of Kitwe District was also used for the focus group discussion with 10 men. To supplement the findings of the study, a second sample of 27 health workers, fully involved in family planning, was obtained from systematically selected health institutions within the same Province. The overall total sample for the study was therefore 218. The study was conducted from December 1996 to February 1997, with the help of three male nurses in data collection. A self administered questionnaire for health workers and an interview schedule for the men were used as data collection tools. Key findings include:- * men's knowledge about the available male family planning methods is reasonably high except for vasectomy. * A gap however, does exist between Zambian men's knowledge of family planning and their practice. * Men do not seem to accept comfortably the available male methods in terms of their effectiveness. * Accessibility to the male methods is one of the factors contributing to low levels of use of family planning among men. *The family planning clinics are still female oriented with almost nothing in place to attract men. Generally family planning services are being offered through maternal and child health care providers, by passing men's involvement. * Men who use modern family planning methods rely to a greater extent on their wives and the methods. Condom use is high, possibly due to the AIDS epidemic, but vasectomy is almost non existent. * There seems to be some communication between husband and wife, this may increase the utilisation rate of male family planning in future. There is need for policy makers and programme planners to give increased attention to include men in counselling services, and Information Education and Communication (I.E.G.) programmes. Most men hold positions of leadership and influence from the family unit up to the national level.Their involvement in family planning therefore would not only ease the responsibility borne by women in terms of decision-making for family planning matters, but would also accelerate the understanding and practice of family planning in general.

▼ The aim of the study was to determine patterns of sexual practice, use and knowledge of contraceptive methods among adolescents in Lusaka urban Zambia. A cross sectional study was conducted in 10 secondary schools in Lusaka urban. Stratified sampling method was used to come up with a sample size of 300 randomly selected male and female adolescents. This sample size was calculated at a level of confidence of 95%. 30 respondents were selected from each school using the systematic random sampling method. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire with both open and closed-ended questions. The results of the study showed that the majority of the adolescents 69% engaged in sex as early as at the age of 12. This was common among females 44% than males 40% who did not only engage in sex for monetary gain but also for sexual satisfaction. Contraceptive use was low among adolescents of 29%. Adolescents found reproductive health information helpful though the study did not adequacy of this information. report Adolescents (98%) had knowledge of STI/HIV/AIDS information. Most adolescents (45%) felt comfortable to discuss issues of sexuality with peers. The majority of the adolescents (76%) did not have a youth friendly corner in the area and those who had were not satisfied with the services offered. Adolescents throughout Lusaka engage in numerous behaviour that put their reproductive health at risk. The potential adverse consequences of sexual activity are well known - STI, AIDS, unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions , lack of information, limited access of family planning services, unplanned sporadic nature of sexual relations and lack of awareness of the likelihood of pregnancy, STI and HIV/AIDS are factors in lack of use. There is an urgent need for expanding and improving reproductive health services. It is also important to implement interventions and strategies that would best meet the needs and have the greatest appeal to those for whom they are intended.

▼ This report is a result of my four months practical attachment to the Planned Parenthood Association of Zambia (PPAZ). I was attached to the said organisation from 13th August to 14th December, 2001. The attachment was in part fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Communication for Development at the University of Zambia. When taking up the attachment, I was interested in finding out the communication strategies PPAZ uses in trying to get people to limit their families. This report therefore outlines what I found out during my attachment regarding this issue. It also talks about the extent to which PPAZ family planning programmes are participatory. The methodologies I used when gathering information are also discussed in this report. These are focus group discussions, questionnaires, documentary search and staff/volunteer observation. The findings of the attachment show that in spite of all the information being given to the people regarding family planning, many of them still want to have many children, even when they have no means of supporting them. Both economic and health disadvantages (to the women) are being given in order to discourage people from having too many children, but they still have them anyway. While efforts are made to use participatory communication when educating people about family planning, the PPAZ does not always adhere to this practice. This sometimes tends to cause some dissatisfaction among target adopters. This report also shows how the findings from the attachment relate to communication for development in the light of organisational and participatory communication theories. The other thing that this report shows is that financial constraints tend to affect organisational communication adversely within the Association. A number of activities that could help PPAZ deliver more adequately to its target audiences are not carried out due to limited financial capacity. Other constraints that PPAZ faces, as well as the Association's strengths, are also discussed. Student input is an important part of the attachment, therefore my input to the organisation is also discussed in the report. Finally, recommendations on how operations at PPAZ could be improved are given at the end of the report.

▼ This dissertation explores how a transnational movement for women’s reproductive freedom became, by the Cold War era, a state-sponsored effort of population control targeting racially and economically marginalized women. It seeks to explain how an effort to empower women and give them more control over their bodies was organized into programs that effectively disempowered them in order to meet the perceived needs of the state. It does this by following the trajectories of two iconic transnational birth control activists, Margaret Sanger and Ishimoto (Katō) Shizue. As these feminists attempted to attract broad elite support beyond national borders, their birth control cause became caught in the imperial struggles between the United States and Japan. The narrative starts from the aftermath of World War I, when feminists and socialists in both Japan and the United States saw birth control as a key to empower working-class women exploited under capitalism and imperialism. During the interwar decades, birth control activists found their goals and purposes more closely aligned with liberal internationalists, advocating birth control as an essential tool to maintain world peace by taming the outward thrust of “aggressive” and “fertile” races such as the Japanese. By the Cold War period, scholars and policymakers in both countries embraced birth control as an essential prerequisite for modernity and a political tool to fight population explosion and communist invasion in Asia. Feminist notions of control over women’s own reproductive decisions were thus replaced by political schemes to strengthen the “national body” and to maintain “international peace” under U.S. hegemony. My work analyzes how foreign politics not only influenced “population control” programs in a non-Western country, but also helped shape birth control politics in America. Japan’s overpopulation problem, often described as a threat to a peaceful world order, helped make the discussion on reproductive control acceptable, even “respectable,” among professionals and elite leaders in the United States. As the birth control cause grew to an international scale, however, it became increasingly removed from the needs and rights of average women.

▼ The ability to determine when or even whether to have children is an extraordinarily important human right that benefits not only the individual woman, who is able to control her fertility, but also others. Family planning helps women protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies. Food and other resources are available in greater amounts for the family members when children are spaced and when the total family size is small. Teenage pregnancy rates are reduced. The government is committed to an active Family Planning policy and has taken measures to make available a broader range of contraceptive methods. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to determine factors associated with contraceptive use, to determine the cause of nonuse of emergency Contraceptives (EC), to determine the possible barriers which may be contributing to non use of EC and to determine needs for awareness campaigns among women of child bearing age (15-49) years. Design: Cross- sectional study Setting: Copperbelt Province Ndola urban Subjects: Women of childbearing age of 17-49 years (383) and health providers from government health centers (217). Main outcome measures: Reasons why women of child bearing age in Ndola urban are not using EC.Result: The key findings of the study included the following: Majority of clients 283 (73.9%) had adequate knowledge of common contraceptive methods used. While 103 (47.5%) of health providers had moderate knowledge. A total of 262 (68.4%) clients were on contraceptives of whom 131 (50.0%) were on contraceptive pills. There were no significant associations observed between education and contraceptive use. However, users of contraceptives tended to be married, older than 20 years and with children. There was no association between contraceptive use and religion. The study also revealed that the majority of clients 368 (96%) were ignorant about EC and 167(77.0 %) health providers had inadequate knowledge about EC. The majority of clients 368(96 %) and 157 (72.4 %) health providers did not know any type of EC. Asked whether EC would be a useful method for the community, the majority of both groups of respondents agreed that EC could be a useful method for the community. Significantly, more health providers (98.6%) than clients (90 3%) agreed that it could be necessary to educate women of childbearing age and health providers on EC use. It was also discovered that more health providers (13.8%) than clients (3.4%) had any beliefs or taboos concerning EC use.Conclusions Lack of knowledge and information about the existence of the methods were the main reasons for non-use of EC. EC is useful in preventing unwanted pregnancies especially in adolescents and there is no evidence that knowledge of these methods of contraception have the effect on encouraging sexual activity among young people. On the other hand, the need for EC could be a stimulus that can bring adolescents into contacts with health care providers, thus providing opportunities for counselling on responsible sexual behaviour, contraception and…

▼ The aim of this study was to determine factors influencing women‘s decision making regarding family planning use among women. The study was conducted in Livingstone District. A cross-sectional, descriptive study design with both qualitative and quantitative approach was used. The study population was the women of child bearing age residing in Livingstone peri urban district who had given birth in the last three months or those who were six (6) days postnatal at the time of the study. Literature review high lights relevant research findings on factors influencing women‘s decision making regarding family planning use.Databases searched were, Pub med, Hinari, Internet, Google scholar, books, articles, professional papers and published and unpublished dissertations. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors that influence women‘s decision making regarding family planning use among mothers delivered in Livingstone District. A sample of 397 respondents was systematically sampled at Maramba health centre catchment population. Two Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted at the health centre. Interview schedules and focus group discussion guide were used to collect data for a period of three months. Data analysis was conducted using Statistical Package in Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 software, and data were presented using frequency tables, pie charts, histograms and cross-tabulations. Data from open ended questions were categorized, coded, entered and analysed using SPSS version 16. Data from closed ended questions was coded, entered and analysed using SPSS version 16. Chi square test was used to test for associations between independent and dependent variables. FGDs were analysed by content analysis and the most useful information that emerged from the discussions was selected and used to illustrate the main points. The study revealed that 99% respondents had adequate levels of knowledge about family planning, and that 74% heard it from health personnel, this was due to the information, education, and communication strategies coupled with service counselling and outreach programmes that are instituted in the district.The study revealed significant association between women‘s knowledge of family planning and their decision making on family planning use p value= 0.000 The study revealed significant association between women‘s level of education and their involvement in family planning decision making p value = 0.033, and Child gender preference was also significantly associated with women‘s decision on family planning p value 0.000. Religious influence was not significantly associated with women‘s decision on family planning p value = .825.There was no significant association between fear of side effects and women‘s decision on family planning p value 0.261.The results will be disseminated to relevant stakeholders after data analysis.

Ph.D. (Social Work)

The problem stated by the candidate is twofold: * family planning programmes throughout the world have generally been unsuccessful; * the question arises as to whether social workers can contribute to family planning and population programmes and what such contribution should comprise. Family planning organisers are confronted with various problems when initiating a family planning programme and trying to ensure that it will function effectively - identifying the target group in terms of numbers and demographic and social characteristics; motivating the target group towards active participation in the family planning programme; motivation for active participation in the family planning programme by the target group, and maintaining of the contraceptive regimen by those already engaged in the family planning programme. Official statistics and research findings in respect of the first two problems are available in South Africa; no adequate information exists in regard to the latter problem according to which programme organisers can plan and operate. A review of research on family planning and population programmes conducted in South Africa and other countries was undertaken. This includes a study of the findings of various KAP investigations. An empirical investigation was undertaken on an aspect in the field of study of which there is insufficient knowledge - a study that is an individual contribution towards existing knowledge. On numerous occasions in this thesis it becomes evident that social workers, by virtue of their special knowledge, values and skills, can make a unique and professional contribution to the dissemination of family planning. One of the particular skills of the social worker is that of conducting interviews. The social worker also has the ability to motivate people towards change in their behaviour. The social worker can therefore, through personal interviewing, guidance and motivation of people, contribute to the expansion of the population programme in general and the family planning programme in particular...

▼ This dissertation consists of three essays on Health Economics. Chapter 1 analyzes the effects of abortion costs for minors on abortions, sexual behavior, and births. We exploit a 2015 change in parental involvement (PI) laws in Spain as a natural experiment in costs, together with rich population-level data on abortions and births. Using the exact date of teenager birth, we first document a decrease in abortions by 17-years-olds using a difference-in-difference comparison with 18-years-olds, consistent with the law that targeted Spanish minors. Using bunching methods from the Public Finance literature, we show evidence of temporal displacement. Some 17-years-old delayed their abortion and waited until they turned 18 and thereby avoided involving their parents. Second, we consider how the law change may have influenced health-related behaviors, finding implicitly that sexual behaviors changed so as to reduce the likelihood of becoming pregnant before turning 18 (and thereby internalized the cost of parental involvement). This is seen in the permanent shift in the number of abortions at age 18 that exists after removing the temporal displacement abortions around the age 18 threshold and an increase in the number of births to mothers who were pregnant at age 17. This paper finds that an important dimension of risky youth behavior responds to incentives contained in parental notification laws. Chapter 2 analyzes the effects of abortion costs on sex-selection by exploiting a 2010 abortion liberalization in Spain and the difference in son-preferences by nationality and child order documented in the literature. We show using a difference-in-difference comparison a significant increase in the fraction of boys for Chinese parents giving birth to their third child or above relative to children born of Spanish parents. Consistent with the literature, we do not find any effect on the fraction of boys for the first or the second child. Using the provincial number of abortion centers per person as a measure of access to abortion, we show, at the correlation level, that the effects come from those provinces with higher access to abortions. Finally, we find suggestive evidence that birth outcomes of Chinese girls who are the third children, and thus are now more likely to be ``wanted'' after the reform, improve. Gestational weeks increase, and the chance of being born prematurely decrease although our evidence suffers from lack of power. Finally, chapter 3 analyzes the effects of a universal, unconditional cash transfer announcement on birth outcomes by exploiting the 2007 cheque bebé policy in Spain that provided 2,500 euros per child to all mothers giving birth immediately after its announcement (Jul 2007). We use a difference-in-difference analysis comparing those born before and after the announcement. By exploiting the timing of the policy announcement we can avoid the composition effects caused by the incentives to have children generated by the policy. We show that the birth weight of those children born after the policy…
