In the 1960s and 1970s, the total fertility rate dropped from over 6.0 to 3.4. A \"marriage boom\" in the late 1970s contributed to a temporary fertility increase to a 3.7 child average. The 1987 Contraceptive Prevalence Survey showed that Sri Lankan fertility resumed its decline in the 1980s, recording an average total fertility rate of 2.8 children between 1982-86. Contraceptive prevalence also increased. An estimated 62% of married women 15-49 were currently using contraception in 1987 compared to 55% in 1982 and only 32% in 1974. 21% of the married women used rhythm, withdrawal, or prolonged abstinence as their methods, but 30% were protected by sterilization. Relatively small percentages chose oral contraception, condoms, or the IUD and injection. The women were less likely to use methods which necessitated repeat clinic or pharmacy visits. This preference most likely reflects the type of family planning services available. Nearly 80% of the married women indicated they did not want any more children; 69% in this age group were contracepting. Nearly all Sri Lankan pregnant mothers received prenatal care, and 87% of births during the 1982-86 period were assisted by medically trained personnel.\u0000","PeriodicalId":83874,"journal":{"name":"Population today","volume":"16 1 1","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70528876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ACS is slotted to replace the decennial census long form by collecting essentially the same information throughout the decade rather than once every 10 years. With updated information researchers will be able to track changes over time and measure relative differences among population groups and areas. The basic design of the survey is self-enumeration through mail-out and mail-back operation in every county to a representative sample of about 3 million addresses across the country. Effective final response rates for the ACS have been about 97%. The ACS field staff work full-time in their areas and can explain to local communities how the ACS benefits them. Because of this the ACS has not encountered the kind of resistance from respondents that the census long form has. The Census Bureau has been developing the ACS since 1996 when it was tested in just four sites. The ACS has since expanded to 31 diverse sites collecting data that can be compared with Census 2000 results. These comparisons are laying the groundwork for the transition from the long form to the ACS. The plan is to fully implement the survey in 2003 and continue data collection every year thereafter.","PeriodicalId":83874,"journal":{"name":"Population today","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67585623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
