虽然肯尼亚的生育率已从1980年代中期的每名妇女6.7个子女下降到1993年的每名妇女5.4个子女(NCPD，1994)，但人口增长率仍然很高，所需时间翻了一番，达到35年。本研究利用从1257对夫妇中收集的1993年肯尼亚人口健康调查数据，调查已婚男女的社会经济和社会人口学特征，以及他们在生育和计划生育决策方面与配偶的沟通情况。Logistic回归分析表明，男女受教育程度、夫妻双方对生育与计划生育的讨论、男性对避孕措施的认可程度、男性家庭规模意愿是影响是否曾经使用计划生育的重要因素。
Although Kenya's fertility rate has declined from 6.7 births per woman in the mid-1980s to 5.4 births per woman in 1993 (NCPD, 1994), population growth is still high, yielding a doubling time of 35 years. This study uses the 1993 Kenya Demographic Health Survey data collected from 1257 couples to examine the socioeconomic and sociodemographic characteristics of married men and women and their communication with their spouses over fertility and family planning decision-making practices. The logistic regression analysis shows that education for both men and women, discussion of fertility and family planning between spouses, male approval of use of contraception and male family size desires are important factors that influence ever-use of family planning.
