PIP: The results of the Dominican Republic's 1986 Demographic and Health Survey suggest increased reliance on effective means of contraception but a continued preference for large family size. The survey covered 7649 women 15-49 years of age. Although only half of the women surveyed were currently using a contraceptive method, over 93% of these women were relying on an effective method, largely female sterilization. A desire to become pregnant was the main reason given for nonuse of contraception. However, 29% of women who were not using a method of contraception at the time of the survey indicated they did not want to become pregnant within the next 2 years. Many of these women expressed unfounded fears about the side-effects of contraceptive methods such as the pill. The 1986 survey recorded a total fertility rate of 3.7 lifetime births/woman for the 1983-85 period--the 1st time this rate has dropped below 4. However, survey respondents indicated a desired fertility rate of only 2.8 births, suggesting an unmet need for family planning services in the Dominican Republic. Another survey finding--that 68 infants/1000 die before their 1st birthday--suggests a need for greater access to maternal-child health services, especially in the country's rural areas.^ieng
