[Value scaling of family planning conditions].
Subjective relevance of 26 different conditions of family planning was measured by means of Thurstone's indirect rating method of couple comparison. A population of 560 interviews had been subdivided by conditions of reproduction, that is desire for children, no desire, and not pregnant. Marital status was an additional criterion for subdivision. The following conclusions were drawn: - The rating given by all groups of probands to health and partnership factors was higher and thus more relevant to decision-making in family planning than that given to age, parity, and depending on marital status, was found to undergo variation which was more intensive than any assessment of socio-economic conditions. Reference is made to resulting conclusions of relevance to society.
