The effect of media exposure on contraceptive adoption across “poverty line”
TLDR
The intent was to show how factors affected contraceptive use, such as education, standards of living, etc., behave differently across the poverty line to determine how these factors affect contraceptive use over time.Abstract:
Purpose – This study aims to explore the effect of mass media exposure on women contraceptive adoption. The intent was to show how factors affected contraceptive use, such as education, standards of living, etc., behave differently across the poverty line. Design/methodology/approach – Logistic regression was used to test the effect of exposure of various mass media on contraceptive adoption.

Findings – Television exposure was found to be significant, and it had a strong effect on the likelihood that the family uses contraceptives. Newspaper readership was found significant above the poverty line and insignificant below. Research limitations/implications – The present study only analyzes cross-sectional data. A longitudinal study would be better suited to determine how these factors affect contraceptive use over time. Practical implications – The findings of this study can b...read more
