IntroductionRapid population growth, which in many instances far outstrips economic growth and environmental sustainability, is the reality in most developing countries of sub-Saharan Africa. '-3 After briefly explaining the purpose of the study, the health assistants requested the consent of the participants. Next, they provided health education on family planning and modern contraceptive methods to either the wife alone (control group) or the wife and husband (experimental group). (The eight health assistants had an almost equal number ofcontrol and experimental subjects.) The sessions generally started with a discussion of the health of the family, which is a culturally acceptable manner in which to initiate a conversation. Questions on the woman's reproductive historywere then used as the entry point into the actual family planning education. The content of the education focused on the advantages of family planning as a means of preventing unwanted pregnancy and birth, of spacing births, and of controlling family size. Health assistants discussed the advantages of birth spacing for the mother, children, and familywith respect to both promotive and preventive aspects of health. Additionally they stressed the ill effects ofa large family on all family members and on the nation as a whole. This was followed by an explanation of altemative contraceptive methods-the birth control pill, the intrauterine device (IUD), and the condom-and a discussion of the relative efficacy of modern contraception versus traditional methods.A maximum of two visits were made. Couples intending to initiate modem contraception were allowed their choice of method and provided with the appropriate explanations and information about followup. The contraceptive method was provided at the conclusion of the home visit, if requested. This included either two cycles of birth control pills, two dozen condoms, or a copper-T TUD set to be brought to the local health center for insertion.The hypothesis to be tested was as follows: those couples in which husband and wife receive family planning education in the homewill have a signiScantlyhigherrate of modern contraceptive use at 2 and 12 months following the intervention than those couples in which the wife alone receives such education (P < .05, two-sided). MeasurementBaseline Contraception in Etbiopia of the women were housewives. The language of origin in two thirds of the participants was Amharic while that of the rest was mostly Oromigna. Two thirds of the husbands were government employees, which includes local factory workers. There were no between-group differences in these characteristics. Complete follow-up through 12 months was achieved in 91.7% of the experimental and 88.9% of the control subjects. Table 1 summarizes the betweengroup comparison of demographic and reproductive histories. There were no significant differences between control and experimental subjects found at enrollment, except that control group women had a slightly higher number of siblings (P < .05). The level of e...

Background Antenatal care (ANC) is the service given by the caregiver for pregnant women to make safe the health of both pregnant women and babies during the pregnancy period Objectives The objective of the current study was to persuade high-quality public health service and plan the mothers and their households expressively and mentally for being motherhood by ever-increasing antenatal care visits from health institutions. Methods Community-based cross-sectional study design was applied. Cross-sectional survey design mainly used for the collection of information on the Utilization of Antenatal Care Visit of Women During Pregnancy and its Related Factors in Bench-Sheko Zone, South Nation Nationalities Peoples of Region, Southwestern Ethiopia: Cross-sectional study. The study populations are all populations who are living in the study area, South Nation Nationalities peoples of Region, Southwestern Ethiopia. Results Evidence tells us, one hundred twenty-nine (16.9%) of pregnant women were not visited by the caregiver during pregnancy. Around eighty-three percent of pregnant women were visited in health institutions at least once prior in the five years in the survey. The Poisson regression model was preferred to fit the data. As the output indicated in analysis, the odds ratio of women whose husband education status is illiterate is equal to exp(-0.272) = 0.76(95% CI:-0.507,-0.038) (other variables are adjusted), it indicates that the women whose husband education status is 0.76 less likely to ANC visit than women whose husband education status is higher and above. Conclusions The remark conclusion that the source of information, religion, educational status, birth order, knowledge of danger signs for pregnancy, and service satisfaction were significant at the alpha level of significance on the ANC visit of Women during pregnancy.
