title: Determinants of contraceptive method choice after first delivery, before first abortion, and after first abortion in east China.
abstract: A 10% sample of the data from East China from the two-per-thousand fertility and contraception survey of the Chinese State Family Planning Committee was analysed to study determinants of contraceptive choice in three situations: after first surviving delivery; before first abortion after first surviving delivery; and after first abortion. A total of 2880 women were included. For first method choice after first delivery, the most popular method is the IUD, although there are urban/rural differences. Better educated women in urban areas prefer the condom and IUD to the pill, whereas better educated women in rural areas prefer the pill. Younger women prefer the IUD and the pill. For last method choice before first abortion, women who had no sons had apparently high failure rates on the pill.
