Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the actual scenario of male involvement either as a user of contraceptive methods or supportive reproductive partners of women on contraceptive use in Rajshahi district of Bangladesh. The analysis shows that, knowledge and use of contraception are low in our study area. Comparative figures of contraceptive practice between men and women found a large disparity. Findings reveal that the user rate of all male contraceptive methods (e.g., condom at 17 percent) is still low compared to that of female methods (pill at 33.8 percent), which shows that men like to impose contra ceptive responsibility on women. Identification of socio-economic and demographic differentials affecting contraceptive behavior of men is performed through the technique of logistic regression. This paper elucidates that education, residence, fertility preference, mass media facility and knowledge about AIDS are the significant factors to influence contraceptive practices among men. Regarding the factors shunning the contraceptive practice we found that men’s opposition to use contraceptive methods is as most significant. The next reason for not using is related to contraceptive method. KEY WORDS: Modern Method, Traditional Method, Fertility, AIDS/STDS

孟加拉国Rajshahi地区男性的避孕行为

摘要本文考察了孟加拉国Rajshahi区男性作为避孕方法使用者或女性的支持性生殖伴侣参与避孕的实际情况。分析表明，在我们的研究区域，避孕知识和使用率较低。男性和女性避孕实践的比较数字发现存在很大差异。研究结果显示，与女性避孕方法（避孕药为33.8%）相比，所有男性避孕方法（如避孕套为17%）的使用率仍然较低，这表明男性喜欢将避孕责任强加给女性。通过逻辑回归技术确定影响男性避孕行为的社会经济和人口统计学差异。本文阐明，教育、居住地、生育偏好、大众媒体设施和艾滋病知识是影响男性避孕实践的重要因素。关于避免避孕的因素，我们发现男性反对使用避孕方法的情况最为显著。不使用的下一个原因与避孕方法有关。关键词：现代方法、传统方法、生育能力、艾滋病/性传播疾病
