[A qualitative study on the reasons why the rural people in Nan province use contraceptive].

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons that rural people in Nan Province choose particular contraceptive methods, and places of services. The study utilizes the data from the study on the Impact and Efficiency of the Family Planning Program in Thailand: Phase II, which applied in-depth interview and small group discussion techniques. Findings indicate that wanting to limit the number of children to 2, wanting to space pregnancy, the limit of land, the conflict with working situation, and economic hardship are the reasons for using family planning. The major sources of contraception are health center, community health office, village health volunteer, village health practitioner, the border patrol police unit, and the military unit including other government agencies in the areas. As for the reasons for choosing a particular contraceptive method, convenience in practice and on obtaining services, desire for more children and concern over side effects are important.

Fertility transition in Indonesia, trends in proximate determinants of fertility, based on the 1987 NICPS/DHS.

The authors "estimate proximate determinants of fertility in Indonesia from the 1987 National Indonesia Contraceptive Prevalence Survey (1987 NICPS). For Java and Bali, the results will be compared to the 1976 Indonesia Fertility Survey's estimates of proximate determinants [to]....provide a better understanding of the causes of fertility decline in Java-Bali during 1976-1987." A theoretical model is used to estimate biological and behavioral proximate determinants of fertility, including marriage and divorce, infertility, postpartum amenorrhea, contraceptive use, induced abortion, fecundability and coital frequency, and fetal death.
