The results indicate that gender context had little net effect on couples' concordance, but it influenced the relative weight of the individual spouses' preferences in determining contraceptive use. It is revealed that husbands' pronatalism was found to contribute to wives' unmet needs to a relatively small degree, particularly in situations where the unmet need is high. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
