ABSTRACT

Recent studies have questioned the positive relationship between interspousal communication (ISC) and the use of

family planning. Using simple cross tabulations and without controlling for other variables, the author analyzes the

relationship between ISC and ever-use of program as well as non-program methods. She finds a strong positive

relationship between ISC and family planning use, especially when communication and use were reported by both

spouses. Similarly, the relationship between ISC and the 2 coitus-independent methods (IUD and pill) is also

positive. In view of these findings, the author suggests that family planning programs might not achieve optimal

results until the husband as well as the wife is addressed. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3533-06)
