Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

This paper examines socioeconomic, program implementation, and communication factors and their relationship

with maternal and child health and family planning performance in 15 Indian states. Data are drawn from the 1991

Census of India and the Family Welfare Year Book, 1990-91. Results of the correlation analysis suggest that the

percentage of urban population and the per capita income are significantly and positively correlated with maternal

and child immunization and family planning acceptance. The number of cinema houses per 1000 population has a

significant and negative correlation with maternal and child immunization performance. Socioeconomic factors,

program-input factors, and communication factors, together explain interstate variations in program performance.

Based on these findings, it is recommended that the standard of living of the people, especially that of women, be

improved by creating income-generating opportunities. Furthermore, expectant mothers should be educated through a

variety of mass media channels about the various maternal and child health immunization services, the benefits of

birth spacing, and the use of family planning methods. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 552-06)
