This
enquiry gathered information towards a wider range of
contraceptive choices for women and to increase acceptance, by
men, of various contraception measures. The study documented
quality concerns of the users and non users of family planning
methods[1].
Social, cultural, economic and related factors affecting the
acceptance of family planning methods were studied. Data was
collected from three high performing and three low performing
districts. This study has found a positive appreciation of
vasectomy by its adopters as opposed to the negative biases of
its non adopter males and also females, and also thrown
important clues on quality of family welfare that is being
provided. The study was started in April, 1996 and was completed
by February, 1997. Funding was provided by the Commissioner
Family Welfare[2],
Government of Andhra Pradesh.
