Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Relationships and Family, grade: 2.0, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: Men are partners in reproduction and sexuality. It is therefore required that both men and women equally share satisfying sexual lives and the burden of preventing diseases and health complications. This paper studies the status of male active participants in family planning in Bangladesh and further explores the associated determinants. The study makes use of Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey, 2007 data (BDHS-2007). Bivariate analysis shows that age of the respondent, age of the partner, family type, respondent’s desire for more children, partners’ desire for more children, discuss FP with partner, education of the respondent, education of the partner and division are significantly associated with active participation of male in family planning. Logistic regression analysis identifies four significant determinants of active participation of male in family planning which are age of the respondent, age of the partner, education of the partner and discuss family planning with partner.

Download or read book The Global Family Planning Revolution written by Warren C. Robinson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The striking upsurge in population growth rates in developing countries at the close of World War II gained force during the next decade. From the 1950s to the 1970s, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century. The Global Family Planning Revolution preserves the remarkable record of this success. Its editors and authors offer more than a historical record. They disccuss important lessons for current and future initiatives of the international community. Some programs succeeded while others initially failed, and the analyses provide valuable guidance for emerging health-related policy objectives and responses to global challenges.

Download or read book Male Involvement in Family Planning and Reproductive Health in Pakistan written by Megan Douthwaite and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the literature from the past 10 years on men and reproductive health in Pakistan revealed only seven major studies. Overall, these studies indicate that Pakistani men are similar to women in terms of their fertility preferences, attitudes, and knowledge of family planning. Men are generally supportive of family planning and may even view specific methods more positively than women. Unclear, however, are the factors underlying large discrepancies between husbands' and wives' reports of family planning communication and decision making as well as contraceptive use. Reliance on withdrawal and condoms has increased in recent years to represent 50% of contraceptive usage, but vasectomy remains an underutilized option. The sources of men's family planning knowledge and supplies in Pakistan have not been investigated. Several studies have revealed very low awareness levels among men of both male and female reproductive health. Despite a demand for greater male involvement in family planning, programming in this area has been limited and awarded a low priority. Vasectomy remains the least publicized contraceptive option in Pakistan. Although more large-scale surveys on men and reproductive health would be useful, there is a particular need for anthropological studies capable of providing insight into complex issues such as how men and women negotiate contraceptive use, the reproductive health problems that concern Pakistani men, their preferred sources of family planning information, and ways in which men may be impeding fertility control efforts.

This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think of the toughest problems in your organization or community. What if they'd already been solved and you didn't even know it? In The Power of Positive Deviance, the authors present a counterintuitive new approach to problem-solving. Their advice? Leverage positive deviants--the few individuals in a group who find unique ways to look at, and overcome, seemingly insoluble difficulties. By seeing solutions where others don't, positive deviants spread and sustain needed change. With vivid, firsthand stories of how positive deviance has alleviated some of the world's toughest problems (malnutrition in Vietnam, staph infections in hospitals), the authors illuminate its core practices, including: · Mobilizing communities to discover "invisible" solutions in their midst · Using innovative designs to "act" your way into a new way of thinking instead of thinking your way into a new way of acting · Confounding the organizational "immune response" seeking to sustain the status quo Inspiring and insightful, The Power of Positive Deviance unveils a potent new way to tackle the thorniest challenges in your own company and community. Richard Pascale is an associate fellow of Templeton College, Oxford University, and author or coauthor of numerous books, including Managing on the Edge, Surfing the Edge of Chaos, and The Art of Japanese Management. Jerry Sternin was the world's leading expert in the application of positive deviance as a tool for addressing social and behavioral change. Monique Sternin has been an equal partner in these efforts and now heads the Positive Deviance Institute at Tufts University

Download or read book The Male Pill written by Nelly Oudshoorn and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Male Pill is the first book to reveal the history of hormonal contraceptives for men. Nelly Oudshoorn explains why it is that, although the technical feasibility of male contraceptives was demonstrated as early as the 1970s, there is, to date, no male pill. Ever since the idea of hormonal contraceptives for men was introduced, scientists, feminists, journalists, and pharmaceutical entrepreneurs have questioned whether men and women would accept a new male contraceptive if one were available. Providing a richly detailed examination of the cultural, scientific, and policy work around the male pill from the 1960s through the 1990s, Oudshoorn advances work at the intersection of gender studies and the sociology of technology. Oudshoorn emphasizes that the introduction of contraceptives for men depends to a great extent on changing ideas about reproductive responsibility. Initial interest in the male pill, she shows, came from outside the scientific community: from the governments of China and India, which were interested in population control, and from Western feminists, who wanted the responsibilities and health risks associated with contraception shared more equally between the sexes. She documents how in the 1970s, the World Health Organization took the lead in investigating male contraceptives by coordinating an unprecedented, worldwide research network. She chronicles how the search for a male pill required significant reorganization of drug-testing standards and protocols and of the family-planning infrastructure—including founding special clinics for men, creating separate spaces for men within existing clinics, enrolling new professionals, and defining new categories of patients. The Male Pill is ultimately a story as much about the design of masculinities in the last decades of the twentieth century as it is about the development of safe and effective technologies.

Download or read book The Best Intentions written by Committee on Unintended Pregnancy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-06-16 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that nearly 60 percent of all U.S. pregnancies--and 81 percent of pregnancies among adolescents--are unintended. Yet the topic of preventing these unintended pregnancies has long been treated gingerly because of personal sensitivities and public controversies, especially the angry debate over abortion. Additionally, child welfare advocates long have overlooked the connection between pregnancy planning and the improved well-being of families and communities that results when children are wanted. Now, current issues--health care and welfare reform, and the new international focus on population--are drawing attention to the consequences of unintended pregnancy. In this climate The Best Intentions offers a timely exploration of family planning issues from a distinguished panel of experts. This committee sheds much-needed light on the questions and controversies surrounding unintended pregnancy. The book offers specific recommendations to put the United States on par with other developed nations in terms of contraceptive attitudes and policies, and it considers the effectiveness of over 20 pregnancy prevention programs. The Best Intentions explores problematic definitions--"unintended" versus "unwanted" versus "mistimed"--and presents data on pregnancy rates and trends. The book also summarizes the health and social consequences of unintended pregnancies, for both men and women, and for the children they bear. Why does unintended pregnancy occur? In discussions of "reasons behind the rates," the book examines Americans' ambivalence about sexuality and the many other social, cultural, religious, and economic factors that affect our approach to contraception. The committee explores the complicated web of peer pressure, life aspirations, and notions of romance that shape an individual's decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy. And the book looks at such practical issues as the attitudes of doctors toward birth control and the place of contraception in both health insurance and "managed care." The Best Intentions offers frank discussion, synthesis of data, and policy recommendations on one of today's most sensitive social topics. This book will be important to policymakers, health and social service personnel, foundation executives, opinion leaders, researchers, and concerned individuals. May
