  • Title: [Changes in the contraceptive method mix during fertility decline: Latin America and the Caribbean].
    Author: Weinberger MB.
    Journal: Notas Poblacion; 1992 Jun; 20(55):41-78. PubMed ID: 12286093.
    Abstract:
    "This paper reviews survey-based data regarding contraceptive prevalence and methods employed in Latin America and the Caribbean, with an emphasis on changes in the mix of methods over time. The most striking recent trend is the rise in use of female sterilization.... By contrast, use of male sterilization remains negligible in most countries. The oral contraceptive pill is by far the most popular of the temporary methods, though its prevalence has more often declined than increased in recent years. Together female sterilization and the pill make up around [two-thirds] of contraceptive practice in Latin America and the Caribbean." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
