“…These results, as well as those of Mosena & Stoeckel (1971) and Knodel & Prachuabmoh (1973), indicate that the relationship between desired-achieved family size and contraception has not been adequately explained. It would seem that women who have more children than desired would be most likely to practise contraception, and those with exactly the number desired more likely than those with fewer than desired, to a greater degree than has been found in this analysis.…”

An attempt has been made to determine which of several social, demographic and economic variables best account for the variance in contraceptive use in a low-income, urban Colombian population. The results indicated that of the independent variables included, occurrence or non-occurrence of intercourse in the past month, education, employment status, marital status and age were the best predictors, in that order. Altogether these factors accounted for 17% of the variance in contraceptive use and 87% of the variance within the model. The remaining variables had relatively little predictive utility; and this was particularly true for interspousal communication, race and religious commitment.

“…The importance of fertility preferences for use of contraceptives in less developed countries has been demonstrated in several studies (Mosena & Stoeckel, 1971;Knodel & Prachuabmob, 1973;Freedman, Hermalin & Chang, 1975;Shah & Palmore, 1979;Nair & Chow, 1980). Most recently, Palmore & Concepcion (1981) examined the relationship between women's desires for additional children and their current use of contraceptives.…”

The influence of fertility preferences on contraceptive use is examined among a sample of low income, rural Egyptian women. The findings reveal that while overall use of contraceptives was at modest levels, one-third of respondents who wanted no more children were currently practising contraception. Moreover, fertility preference emerged as the strongest predictor of contraception among the series of social and demographic factors examined.
