- Abstract
ABSTRACT The results of a survey of 275 Bangladeshi women who were sterilized at a rural family planning clinic are presented. The survey comprised two interviews of each woman: one conducted immediately prior to the sterilization procedure and the second conducted one month after each woman was sterilized. Sociodemographic data were gathered for the survey from the patients' clinic records. Reasons for the choice of sterilization and sociodemographic impact of the procedure are discussed, as are implications of the results on other rural family planning programs.
