Abstract
This paper presents the findings of the two surveys conducted in Vietnam in 1988 and 1990 investigating the accessibility of contraceptive use in relation to the provincial infant mortality level. Overall community infant health indicators and family planning services characteristics exert a major influence on the likelihood of modern contraceptive use among Vietnamese women. It is noted that women who live in provinces with low levels of infant mortality were significantly more likely to use a modern contraceptive method than those living in provinces with high infant mortality regardless of an individual womans infant mortality experience. Multivariate analysis indicate that women who live close to a clinic and those who have public transportation available are more likely to use a modern temporary method. The researchers noted that efforts to reduce mortality in high-risk provinces may result in higher contraceptive prevalence rates.
