- W2277222421 abstract "The Chogoria Community Health Survey based on interviews with 1880 Kenyan women of childbearing age who had ever been married or had ever had a live birth sought to assess maternal-child health and family planning status and needs within this population and to determine the use of health practices and services. This paper concentrates on the results related to fertility (actual and desired) and contraceptive prevalence and compares these results with data for Kenya as a whole. The total fertility rate in the Chogoria area was 5.2 births/woman compared to 7.7 for the country as a whole. Not only is overall fertility lower than nationally but it is considerably lower within every age group. Survey data indicate that women in the Chogoria area marry only slightly later and breastfeed slightly longer than other Kenyan women accounting for only a small part of the fertility difference. Rather contraceptive use appears to account for this finding. 43% of women in a union use some form of contraception and over 80% of users use modern methods. The most commonly used methods are oral contraceptives (16%) and the IUD (11%). The 54% combined prevalence in the high and middle altitude zones of Choguria is the highest level of contraceptive use in rural Africa. A 4-child family is currently the most popular family size; few women want under 3 or over 5 children. On the other hand 52% of recent pregnancies were classified as unplanned indicating a need for further improvements in family planning services. In part the significantly lower fertility found in this area of Kenya is due to the Choguria Hospital Community Health Department program." @default.
