This report presents the findings of an
exploratory study conducted in poor areas of three provinces
in northern Argentina (Misiones, Salta, and Santiago del
Estero). The study comprised a random (cluster) sample of
three hundred households of women in reproductive age with
at least one child. Focus groups (13) and in-depth
interviews with key informants (health providers, educators,
religious, and community leaders) were conducted to validate
quantitative data and to explore issues such as gender
roles, domestic violence, abortion, and contraception. The
study aimed at contributing to a better understanding of
reproductive health issues, quality of life, and rural
poverty--primarily as it affects women--and providing policy
recommendations for addressing reproductive health issues in
rural poverty alleviation strategies. The study also
explored, albeit on a limited basis, men's perceptions
and behavior related to reproductive health. The principal
findings of this study focus on gathering reliable data for
decisionmaking especially at the sub-national levels;
controlling family size as it has a direct impact on
women's income-generating capacity and quality of life;
developing the political will to promote and implement
comprehensive reproductive health programs; increasing
public awareness of reproductive health; and analyzing
factors in the underutilization of health services and contraceptives. |
