      ab: In an effort to determine how family planning accessibility affects contraceptive choice, the writers employ techniques of spatial analysis to develop measures of family planning accessibility, and they appraise the effects of these geographically derived measures in a multilevel statistical model of temporary method choice in Nang Rong, Thailand. They combine spatial data derived from maps and Global Positioning System readings with sociodemographic data obtained from surveys and administrative records. Their new measures indicate important travel time effects even when family planning outlets are in close proximity; independent effects of road composition; the importance of alternative sources of family planning supply; and the significance of the local history of program placement.
