[A case study on the fertility and contraceptive practice of urban women].
"This study analyzes the fertility characteristics and the practise of contraceptive methods among married women aged 15-49 living in Izmit [Turkey] urban area.  While the average pregnancies and the number of living children are lower than the average for overall Turkey, the use of contraceptive methods [is] found to be higher.  Only [one third] of the women exposed use traditional methods.  No significant relation is found between education level or number of living [children] and use of contraceptive methods.  66.5% of all women agree that due to medical or social reasons, legal abortions must be made in hospitals."
