Knowledge and perceptions about AIDS among married women in Bangkok.

People's knowledge and perceptions about AIDS are critical in efforts to combat the further spread of this disease. Using data from a study on "Determinants and Consequences of Contraceptive Use Patterns in Thailand", this paper investigates the knowledge and perceptions about AIDS among ever-married women in Bangkok Metropolis. Differentials in knowledge and perceptions are investigated by socio-economic subgroups. The results indicate the need to inform and educate people about AIDS, especially those in low-income groups or with lower levels of education.

Determinants of contraceptive use dynamics: research needs on decision and choice.

Because of the importance of contraceptive behaviour in most societies today a better understanding is needed of the social and behavioural factors affecting contraceptive decisions and choices of individuals and couples. This paper examines the need for longitudinal, theoretically-based studies of contraceptive use dynamics, including the timing, duration and interaction of reproductive events which may be more important than contraceptive technology in the social, cultural and economic context of fertility control. New research methods and appropriate analysis of data are relevant. Consideration of the social context is essential for the formulation and implementation of effective policies relating to the provision of contraceptive services.

REALPOP: a mathematical model for resource allocation in population programs-results from a test in the Dominican Republic.

The structure of a computerized mathematical model for resource allocation in population programs (REALPOP) and its application to the Dominican Republic's national family planning program are described. The model integrates demographic and management science approaches in the analysis of resource allocation, program planning, goal evaluation, and growth strategies of a family planning program. It is designed primarily to aid administrative decision-makers. The Dominican National Population and Family Council (NPFC) established a goal of reducing the crude birth rate from its 1968 level of 48 per thousand population to 28 per thousand in 15 years. Further, the program has established a clear set of program plans and alternatives. This study investigates the implication of these plans for the program's stated goals.

Seminar on the use of demographic knowledge for population policy formulation in Latin America. Lima, Peru, 14-17 January 1986. An overview.

The author reports on a seminar on the application of demographic knowledge to population policy in Latin America. "In the absence of reliable empirical evidence, the actual objective of the seminar became an exploration, with Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Bolivia as case studies, of questions such as: what applications, what knowledge, what relationships, what emphases, what transmission mechanisms, what communication channels, what investment by public and private agencies are needed to respond to the demand--actual and potential--for demographic knowledge for policy purposes." The seminar brought together not only academics, but parliamentarians, members of international agencies, and other professionals concerned with population issues. The focus of the discussion was on ways and means of improving existing flows of information and of expanding knowledge available for policy purposes.
