Abstract EN

This study (which is one of the few studies in this area) has identified the variations in exposure to counseling and the chances of its loss.

these variations are tested statistically and reveal the priority segments of the population in their need to have knowledge of family planning methods.

in-depth analysis of the household demographic and health survey 2012 data which is part of a global project on demographic and health surveys (more than 300 survey of this kind in more than 90 countries in the world, including six surveys in Jordan have been implemented to date) using the statistical and descriptive analysis of multiple logistic regression have tackled the subject of (exposure of the ever-married women for counseling on family planning and lost opportunities of this exposure).

the results showed that more than one-third of them had not been exposed to counseling on family planning in the year preceding the survey.

the woman's age and her work had adverse impact on their exposure to counseling, while the number of births had a positive impact.

as for the lost opportunities to obtain counseling, it is noted that four out of five women lose these opportunities despite their presence in a service facility during miscarriage, birth or postpartum period.

it was evident that the number of births and their sex is the most influential factor in the prospects of receiving or losing these opportunities, noting that the prospects of receiving these opportunities for women with greater number of children, while the ratio decreases in case of women with more daughters and older age compared to those who are under the age of 20 years.
