Parity, related sociodemographic factors and contraceptive use in Saudi Arabia.
"Parity and associated sociodemographic factors were studied in 1,250 Saudi female patients.  23.8 per cent of the study group were para 3 or more and a significant relationship between high parity and low education background of the couple was observed.  The use of contraception was significantly more in educated and economically healthy multiparous women simply for the reason of spacing the pregnancies."
