Fertility, Contraceptive Choice, and Public Policy in Zimbabwe
研究津巴布韦自1980年独立以来公共基础设施投资对生育率和避孕选择的影响，发现女性教育程度是关键预测因素，而外展服务（如流动诊所和社区分销员）对现代避孕方法采用有显著作用，但效果因年龄和教育程度而异。
Zimbabwe has invested massively in public infrastructure since independence in 1980. The impact of these investments on demographic outcomes is examined using household survey data matched with two community level surveys. A woman's education is a powerful predictor of both fertility and contraceptive use. These relationships are far from linear and have changed shape in recent years. After controlling for household resources, both the availability and quality of health and family planning services have an important impact on the adoption of modern contraceptives. In particular, outreach programs such as mobile family planning clinics and community-based distributors (CBDs) have been especially successful. However, not all women are equally served by this infrastructure. For example, CBDs have a bigger impact on younger, better educated women, while mobile family planning clinics appear to have more success with older, less educated women.
