Abstract
"The study is an attempt to investigate contraceptive behaviour in the areas served independently by FWAs [family welfare assistants] and Dais [midwives] in...selected areas of Bangladesh....[Findings] indicated that almost every woman (98.5 percent in FWA area and 99.3 percent in dai area) has a basic awareness of at least one method of contraception....The results...suggest that a basic awareness has developed...in both the areas....A significant increase in the response on the knowledge of specific contraceptive methods was observed after prompting had been adopted while interviewing in both the areas. This clearly reveals the influences of prompting...on measures of knowledge among the target population." Data are from surveys conducted in 1985.
