Abstract
Two hundred and sixty-eight Jamaican women were interviewed and asked about their views on various types of contraceptives. During the interviews they were given an outline of a woman's body and asked to draw the female reproductive system. Worries about altered menstruation, irreversible sterility and other consequences of contraception contributed to underutilization of services. Recommendations for improved services and public education are made.Entities:
