Contraceptive Use Among Young Adults was produced as a
supplement to the Jamaica Reproductive Health Survey Report.
The main objective of this report is to present detailed

Russia:
Women's Reproductive Health Survey, 1996
In 1996, technical assistance was provided to the All-Russian Center for
Public Opinion and Market Research in the design, implementation,
and analysis of a reproductive health survey conducted in three
Russian cities. This survey was used to assess reproductive health,
and to provide baseline information in an effort to determine the
impact of the USAID-supported Russia Women's Reproductive Health
Project. This project was designed to reduce reliance on induced
abortion, increase modern contraceptive use, and to improve
reproductive health among Russian women generally. A follow-up
survey was conducted in late 1998. Population-based samples of about
2,000 women between the ages of 15 and 44 were interviewed in each
site. 232 pages; available in Russian only; May 1998. |

Key Scientific Issues for Research on Violence Occurring
Around the Time of Pregnancy
This report summarizes the collective recommendations of
investigators convened at a meeting in May 1997 to guide research
investigating violence occurring around the time of pregnancy.

violence occurring around the time of pregnancy, and define
violence during pregnancy; (2) agree on terminology related
to the study of violence occurring around the time of pregnancy;
(3) establish guidelines for use in future research regarding
periods of observation and milestones to be used in the collection
of data in the study of violence occurring around the time of
pregnancy; (4) establish a list of clear and consistent research
questions to guide future research; and (5) establish a set
of categories to guide the selection of variables for investigating
violence occurring around the time of pregnancy. 27 pages; May
1998. |

Family
Planning Logistics Guidelines
The Family Planning Logistics Management Project is
conducted under an agreement with the Agency for International
Development, Washington, D.C. This book is designed for use by
supervisors, managers, and administrative personnel who work in family
planning programs in developing countries. The Family Planning
Logistics Guidelines publication is designed to help programs manage
contraceptive supplies and analyze logistics problems when they occur.
When quality contraceptives are continuously available, a program is
better able to reach new clients and retain existing ones. Over time,
this can lead to an increase in contraceptive prevalence, which helps
reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with frequent
childbearing. 100+ pages. |
