Association between contraceptive method accepted and perception of information received: a comparison of Norplant and IUD acceptors.

In the present study Norplant(R) and IUD acceptors who attended the same counseling sessions have been compared on their perception of the information received at the family planning clinic. The study covered 100 acceptors of each method quota matched by parity and years of schooling. Data were obtained through home interviews. The two groups presented no significant differences when selected socio-demographic characteristics were analyzed. Norplant users recalled more information on this method than did IUD acceptors, and the content of what they remembered was different. This included concepts as important as risk of pregnancy, menstrual and health effects, and method of removal. The results suggest that the intrinsic qualities of the new method and the presence of a group of women motivated to use one with its general characteristics, are not sufficient conditions for its acceptance.

User preferences for contraceptive methods in India, Korea, the Philippines, and Turkey. World Health Organization Task Force on Psychosocial Research in Family Planning and Task Force on Service Research in Family Planning.

Research was conducted to determine the patterns of contraceptive choice in four developing countries and to investigate the association between method selection and demographic/socioeconomic variables, future family planning intentions, and users' perceptions of methods and preference for personnel. After listening to a balanced presentation of information on the methods, each woman indicated her choice and was then interviewed to determine her reasons for selecting that method. The pattern of contraceptive selection differed from the previous pattern of contraceptive use in each clinic, and this suggests that the presentation of balanced information combined with the provision of a free choice of methods is a useful approach to the assessment of the demand.
