本研究以莫桑比克为例，探讨了宗教团体的社会环境如何影响发展中国家避孕药具使用的普及。对1998- 1999年在该国城市地区收集的定性数据和1997年莫桑比克人口和健康调查数据的分析表明，在城市地区，社会文化更加多样化和包容性更强的罗马天主教和以传教为基础的新教教会的环境比规模较小、相对单一、独立教会然而，在农村地区，不同宗教教派内部和之间的社会文化多样性微乎其微，任何正式教会的成员在避孕知识学习方面都具有优势。
This study examines how the social environment of religious congregations affects the spread of contraceptive use in developing contexts, using Mozambique as a case study. Analysis of qualitative data collected in urban areas of that country in 1998-99 and of the data from the 1997 Mozambique Demographic and Health Survey suggests that, in urban areas, the environment of more socioculturally diverse and inclusive Roman Catholic and mission-based Protestant congregations is more propitious to the spread and legitimization of modern contraception than the milieu of smaller, relatively homogeneous, independent churches. In rural areas, however sociocultural diversity within and across different religious denominations is minimal, and membership in any formal congregation offers an advantage in contraceptive learning.
