Birth control practice in Khartoum.

The results presented here are based on a fertility survey carried out in Khartoum in 1978. It was shown that the knowledge of family planning is widespread in the city and that the level of ever-use of birth control is becoming significant. The popularity of the different methods of birth control is investigated, revealing that the pill is used by nearly all ever-users. IUDs, rhythm, and withdrawal are also relatively popular. A great degree of consistency was found to exist between reports given by husbands and their wives in this respect. The purpose of using birth control is not yet clear. The significant ever-use, noted before the 3rd live birth, indicates that these methods are used for the purpose of spacing births rather than limiting the number of children.
