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 study, carried out in 1981 by the Nepal Ministry of Health, examines the effects of contraceptive use in Nepal.

Its purpose is 1) to provide information necessary to plan for and evaluate the family planning program; 2) to train

family planning staff in methods of conducting surveys; and 3) to enhance their capability for conducting similar

surveys in the future. Geographical, socioeconomic, and health factors related to family planning are discussed.

The program's objectives and activities are explained. A detailed section on survey methodology including selection

of the sample, questionnaire design, and data processing is included. Socioeconomic characteristics of the

respondents and their current patterns and future expectation of fertility is documented. An extensive summary gives

information on the extent to which Nepalese families know about family planning, how widely contraceptive methods

are used and how convenient the family planning centers are to the general populace. Flaws in survey methodology

are noted, and specific recommendations based on the results of the survey are given. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
