    Journal: Stud Fam Plann; 1995; 26(3):180-4. PubMed ID: 7570767.
    Abstract:
    The Turkey Demographic and Health Survey collected data from 8619 households and complete interviews with 6519 ever-married women aged 15-49 years. Interviews were conducted during August-October 1993. The survey found that over the period 1965-1985, the population grew from 31.2 million to 50.3 million. The crude birth rate per 1000 declined from 41.0 to 30.8; crude death rate also declined from 15.0 to 8.9. The annual rate of population growth fell from 2.50% to 2.33%, and life expectancy increased from 53.5 to 63.3 years. UN estimates put the rate of total fertility for 1985-90 at 3.8; the survey estimate for 1992 is 2.7, much lower than the estimated rate of 6.5 for 1955-60. More than half of currently married women of reproductive age use contraception. Survey data are presented in tabular form under the following headings: distribution of survey sample population by socioeconomic characteristics; fertility trends; fertility differentials, 1992; age-specific fertility; mean ideal number of children by age and number of living children for ever-married women; desire to stop childbearing among women in union; planning status of births in the five years preceding the survey by birth order; contraceptive prevalence differentials; contraceptive prevalence by age and parity; percentage distribution of current users of modern methods by most recent source of supply, according to method; knowledge and use of methods among women in union; intention to use contraception in the future among nonusers in union, by number of living children; reason for future nonuse among currently married women by age group; current marital status; differentials in median age at first birth; union and contraceptive status; median duration of postpartum interval; differentials in duration of breastfeeding; infant mortality trends; infant mortality differentials, 1988-93; children ever-born and surviving; percent of children 12-23 months old ever vaccinated and percent receiving specific vaccines, according to health card or mother's report; percent of children under five years old with diarrhea two weeks prior to survey, and of those, percent consulting a health facility and percent receiving different ORT treatments; type of assistance during delivery for births in five years prior to survey; and percent undernourished among children under five years old according to children's weight-for-height and height-for-age.
