Replication data for: Central Asia (2008): Family Planning TRaC Study Evaluating Use of Modern Contraceptive Methods among Women of Reproductive Age in Rural Areas of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. First Round.

PSI/Central Asia is implementing a 2-year USAID-funded program to improve maternal health among underserved, low-income women in rural Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The program aims to address the lack of access to affordable family planning products, insufficient knowledge of modern contraceptives, and misconceptions about the safety and effectiveness of modern contraceptive methods.A multi-stage probability sampling strategy was used to recruit 2007 women of reproductive age, 15-49 years old living in target sites (small villages) of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The questionnaire collected information on background characteristics, opinions about sexual behavior, oral and injectable contraceptives, intrauterine devices, and condoms, beliefs and knowledge about modern contraceptive methods and exposure to maternal health improvement intervention.
