Reweighting DHS data to serve multiple perspectives.

Information about health and family planning infrastructures is collected through the service availability module (SAM), an important feature of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted in many developing countries. The DHS samples were designed to provide a representative sample of households and women of reproductive age. Using the weights routinely provided with DHS data sets, service accessibility can be described straightforwardly at the individual and household levels. However, without further adjustment, SAM data do not provide a representative picture of service delivery at the community, or primary sampling unit, level, where the data are collected. This report proposes a methodology for reweighting the SAM data, using rural data from the Egypt DHS as an illustration, so that available family planning facilities at this level may be usefully characterized at little additional cost.

Improving patient success with oral contraceptives: the importance of counseling.

Oral contraceptives (OCs) are highly effective in protecting against pregnancy if used correctly and consistently. They also offer noncontraceptive health benefits. The prescriber must understand the myriad factors contributing to success with OCs and other birth control methods, including characteristics and habits of successful users, real and perceived fears about adverse effects, and packaging issues. A woman's experiences with previous methods influence later success or failure with OCs.
