Influence of family head's reproductive behaviour on the use of modern contraceptive methods by other members of the family in rural Bangladesh.

A study in Bangladesh showed that the probability of use of modern contraception by eligible family members of a household increases significantly if the household head himself is a user. Multinomial logistic regression showed that contraceptive use was also significantly related with maternal age, parity, education, socioeconomic status and experience of child mortality. Inclusion of ever use of modern contraceptives by the family head or his wife, showed family head's religiosity to be a significant predictor of use, apart from his age and parity, and after controlling for socioeconomic correlates.

[Pregnancy prevention from the viewpoint of women (1): Patient counseling by the general practitioner is rated as "very good". Women assess the pill as an effective and safe contraception method. A representative survey].

In this opinion poll, 1000 women from Switzerland aged 15 to 45 years were asked about their use of contraceptives. The most favorite contraceptive is the pill (31%); however, it is more popular among younger women than older ones. Safety of contraception is mentioned as the main advantage of the pill. In second and third place come the condom (17%) and the intrauterine device and sterilization (6% each). The reasons for choosing one or the other type of contraception and the sources of information are discussed. Information and counselling from the family doctor was rated as "very good" and from the gynecologist as "good" to "very good".

[The contraceptive method that changed the world].

During the past century human life expectancy doubled while the birth rate dropped. The widespread use of effective contraceptives has led to a better control of human fertility and changed the structure of modern societies: the elderly now increasingly outnumber the young. Scientifically controlled human reproduction has also resulted in fewer voluntary abortions. The choice of contraceptive strategies differs by geographic area and seems to be linked to such simple mechanisms as the ''door-to-door'' effect. In European countries where the pill is the most widely used contraceptive, interesting variations in the biological profile of oral contraceptive users can be observed; for example, women taking a hormonal contraceptive have only half the risk of developing ovarian cancer. The world is no longer the same since the advent of the pill.

What women want and what their doctors need--how do women evaluate the quality of contraceptive methods and products introduced by their gynaecologist? A different perspective.

Is a doctor really aware of women's expectations and needs when choosing their contraceptive? When faced with making a decision about which contraceptive to chose, women often turn to their doctor for information and guidance. This is particularly the case with oral hormonal contraceptives. Nowadays women often demand more than just a pill that will provide reliable contraception--they expect additional benefits such as good cycle control, improvement in dysmenorrhoea and if possible a beneficial effect on hair and skin. The increased choice of available oral contraceptives places additional pressure on doctors to fully understand the products they are prescribing, in terms of both the physiological and the psychological effects they may have on their patients. Clinical guidelines need to be in place in order to manage any day-to-day problems that may arise. In addition doctors need to re-evaluate their relationship with their patients in order to provide what women really want.
