Bangladesh contraceptive prevalence survey - 1983 : special topics
Despite the continuous efforts of family planning programs in Bangladesh for more than two decades, a relatively small percentage (19.1%) of currently married Bangladeshi women sampled in the 1983 Contraceptive Prevalence Survey were using some form of contraception, while the majority (65%) said they had never used any contraceptive method.

Abstract
This last of three volumes based on data collected by the Survey focuses on factors which may be related to the relatively low rate of contraceptive usage, including availability, unmet need, reasons for nonuse, and the general nature of contraceptive decisionmaking. Fertility, as estimated from survey data, and infant mortality are considered in detail as part of the demographic context within which contraceptive decisions are made; other factors affecting use are also considered. Analysis of the survey data provides important insights into the successes and failures of the family planning program in Bangladesh, and policy implications are discussed in a final chapter. Appendices explain the survey"s sampling procedure and present the household questionnaire used in the survey.
