Abstract
This book presents the findings of a four-year evaluation of the community development and family planning education program carried out in Egyptian villages in the late 1970s. Interviewing thousands of male and female villagers researchers elicited data about knowledge of contraception attitudes toward family size and family planning family planning practices and actual fertility rates. Also included in the survey were the social and economic characteristics of the villages. In their analyses the authors pay particular attention to determining which aspects of family planning and practice appeared to be affected by the development program and which did not. The results suggest that the development program did not have a significant effect on fertility although it had a measurable impact on family planning attitudes and practice. (EXCERPT)
