Book Description
This is a report of a survey on Family Planning Programs and Contraceptive Practice in Khao I Dang and Ban Vinai Refugee Camps. The broad objective of the study was to provide more complete information on knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning among women refugees for programme officials. One of the specific objectives was to investigate the fertility history of ever-married women after their arrival in a camp where family-planning services were available. Another was to evaluate the effectiveness of family-planning media in gaining the acceptance of contraception among ever-married women residing in the camps. The introduction to the report gives statistics on the number of refugees in centres in Thailand and the yearly arrivals and departures in different programmes. The report contains background information on the studied camps as well as general information on the refugees in the camp. It also describes the health and family-planning services in the camps, including traditional contraceptive medicine. The report then presents the six parts of the questionnaire: household record; socio-economic and demographic background of ever-married women and their husbands; decision-making on childbearing and family planning; family planning. The findings of the survey are shown in tables and commented upon within the report.
