Utilization of Reproductive, Maternal
and Child Health Services: The Public and Private
Sector Analysis for Jinja and Kampala Districts, January
2001
Early in 2000 the DISH project, using data from 80
sentinel sites, declines were observed in use of family
planning, antenatal and assisted delivery services.
These trends raised concerns as to whether service
utilisation in general was declining or whether clients
were shifting from the sentinel sites to private and
other newly established public facilities. Another
possible explanation of these trends was the accuracy
of the data. Therefore, to explain the decline, the
project initiated research focusing on the above-mentioned
possible explanations.
Why Increasing
Contraceptive Use Doesn't Always Result in an Immediate
Decline in Total Fertility Rate, June 2001
This paper examines why increases in contraceptive
use do not always result in a concurrent drop in fertility.
Demographic and Health Survey data for a number of
countries are used to illustrate several seeming incongruities
for the commonly expected association between contraception
and fertility.
