埃塞俄比亚南部民族和人民区（SNNPR）是1100万人的家园，包括45个以上的语言和种族群体，其中大多数生活在极端贫困的农村社区。根据1990年和1997年国家计划生育局进行的人口调查中关于15-49岁已婚育龄妇女的数据，对这一人群的避孕知识和宣传、计划生育服务的使用情况和未来需求进行了调查。本研究的重点是家庭组织和妇女地位如何影响这些过程，以及它们对人口政策和方案的影响。考虑这些结果的影响，了解一个高度多样化的非洲人口在严重压力下的生育率转变。虽然三分之一的抽样妇女的特点是家庭扩大和一夫多妻制，他们不影响妇女的避孕行为。到目前为止，妇女的识字率和自主权是该地区降低生育率的最重要力量。
The Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region of Ethiopia (SNNPR) is home to 11 million people constituting more than 45 language and ethnic groups, most of whom live in extremely poor rural communities. Data for currently married, fecund women aged 15-49 from demographic surveys conducted in the SNNPR in 1990 and 1997 are used to investigate contraceptive knowledge and communication, and the use and future need for family planning services in this population. This study focuses on how these processes are affected by household organization and women's status, and on their implications or population policies and programs. Considerations for the implications of these results for understanding the fertility transition of a highly diverse African population under severe stress are presented. Although household extension and polygamy characterize one-third of the women sampled, they do not affect the women's contraceptive behavior. Women's literacy and autonomy ave, by far, the mast significant forces in the movement toward lower fertility in the region.
