That was the question that our latest graduate Daniela Mamani answered with her research project, a project that she defended last week. And the answers were interesting.
Women with more children knew a lot more about birth control, as did younger women. Women in rural areas got their information from neighbors, whereas women in town learned from health centers. Most women used natural methods, but a high percentage of women in their 30s use IUDs.
This information will help health workers frame their questions and answers about women's health, based on what women know and do. And that is good for women's health.

Daniela is working at the Carmen Pampa health center for a few months while her husband Rubén finishes his classes in the agronomy department. She and Rubén have two young daughters, and plan to move to Caranavi when Rubén finishes his studies.
