Female feticide has been a major social malady in Indian society including all religion, educateduneducated, rich-poor and rural-urban. It would be difficult to root out this problem, if the entire society does not get aware and value the significance of a girl child. So, the present study was planned to assess the association of marital status and districts with family planning and birth control. The study was conducted in Uttar Pradesh state with nine districts randomly selected on the basis of sex-ratio i.e. high, middle and low. Random selection of 50 respondents from each district was done. Data was collected by using standardized scale "Family Planning and Birth Control Attitude Scale" developed by Dr. M. Rajamanickam ( 2005) with four variables (Population Problem, Fertility Control, Contraceptive method and Sterilization. Result revealed that majority of male (81.8%) and female (79.1%) respondents were married and vice versa. Equal percentage of male and female (50%) respondents was taken from in all districts of high, middle and low sex-ratio. Results throw light on four variables in which mean value was seen more in population problem variables i.e. (31.12) in middle sex ration districts. Mean values in other three variables were i.e. Fertility Control-(30.86), Contraceptive method-(29.99), and Sterilization (30.45). Data further asserted that significant association was found with districts and all variables. (Population problem F=5.98, Fertility Control F=11.18,Contraceptive Method F=4.81and Sterilization F=3.41). In case of marital status, unmarried respondents in population problem variables (30.52) have more mean value. But married respondents have more mean value in other three variables i.e. Fertility . Data reported that significant association of marital status was found with two variables only i.e. Contraceptive method t= 3.88 and Sterilization t=3.11. It is concluded that districts with middle sex-ratio and married respondents were in favor of family planning and birth control.

“…Finally, the NFHS-3 was completed in 2006 and the prevalence of DV, contraceptive method use, or covariates may have changed. Notwithstanding, recent studies show that rates of DV (Dwivedi & Sachdeva, 2019; Ram et al, 2019) and female sterilization (Choi et al, 2019; N. C. Sharma, 2018) have been consistently high and have shown an upward trend.…”

The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of domestic violence in ever-married women in India and analyze the relationship between domestic violence and use of female sterilization as contraception. We analyzed data from the National Family Health Survey 2005–2006 (NFHS3). The Domestic Violence Module of the survey included abuse experiences and reproductive health outcomes of ever-married women aged 15 to 49 years ( n = 69,704). The main outcome of interest was female sterilization and domestic violence experience was the main independent variable. Covariates in our multivariate regression models were guided by the socioecological model for domestic abuse. We estimated a reference linear probability model for the dichotomous outcome. We also employed an instrumental variables procedure to strengthen causal inference under such potential sources of bias as measurement error in reporting domestic violence and omitted variables. The reference model showed an increase of 2.1 percentage points ( p < .001) in the probability of female sterilization associated with exposure to domestic violence. After correcting the estimate for the measurement error and omitted variable bias, we found that domestic violence was associated with an increase in female sterilization by 6.4 percentage points ( p < .001), which is 18% higher than the rate of sterilization among non-victims. In conclusion, our findings imply that domestic violence may lead abuse victims to opt for female sterilization as contraception. Domestic violence is a significant obstacle to efficient contraceptive use. Programs directed toward violence prevention should work conjointly with family planning programs in India.

“…Considering the cross-sectional nature of the survey, causality cannot be inferred from the findings. There is also possibility of underreporting of FPC among some of the women due to its sensitivity [70]. The surveys included in the study were conducted at different time points.…”

Individual- and country-level correlates of female permanent contraception use in sub-Saharan Africa

Background Female permanent contraception is a cost-effective contraceptive method that can help clients with the desire to limit childbearing achieve their reproductive intention. However, despite its benefits, the use of FPC remains low in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and limited studies have examined the correlates of its uptake. In this study, we assessed the individual- and country-level factors associated with the use of FPC among married or in-union women using modern contraceptive methods to limit childbearing in SSA. Methods This study was a secondary data analysis of individual- and country-level data obtained from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program and three open data repositories. The study included 29,777 married or in-union women aged 15–49 years using modern contraceptive methods to limit childbearing from DHS conducted in 33 sub-Sahara African countries between 2010 and 2018. We performed descriptive statistics and fitted multilevel logistic regression models to determine the predisposing, enabling, and need factors associated with the use of FPC. Results Approximately 13% of the women used FPC. About 20% of the variance in the odds of using FPC was attributable to between-country differences. In the full model, the significant individual-level factors associated with the use of FPC compared with other modern contraceptive methods were: age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.10; 95%CI = 1.08–1.12), living children (OR = 1.11, 95%CI = 1.04–1.16), high household wealth (OR = 1.39, 95%CI = 1.18–1.64), rural residence (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.71–0.97), joint contraceptive decision with partner (OR = 1.68, 95% = 1.43–1.99), contraceptive decision by partner and others (OR = 2.46, 95% = 1.97–3.07), and the number of living children less than the ideal number of children (OR = 1.40, 95%CI = 1.21–1.62). The significantly associated country-level factors were births attended by skilled health providers (OR = 1.03, 95%CI = 1.00–1.05) and density of medical doctors (OR = 1.37, 95%CI = 1.01–1.85). Conclusions Our results suggest that both individual- and country-level factors affect uptake of FPC in SSA. Increasing geographic, economic, and psychosocial access to FPC may improve its uptake in SSA.
