Adoption of Contraceptives among Urban School Teachers

The past decade has witnessed a significant shift in the way population and reproductive health problems are conceptualized. There has been a clearer articulation and definition of reproductive health as a concept. The challenge now is to translate this concept into policies and programmes at the national level. During investigation it was found that there is lack of data about Teacher's health status, knowledge and attitude regarding reproductive health - aspects which reveal their dilemmas or social tensions related to sex education. Thus, in view of this concept, the present study was undertaken to bring such salient issues at the forefront and to provide direction to plan certain new strategies and formulate recommendations that would be appropriate step to curb the problems associated with Contraception, HIV/AIDS and STDs.
