A Study of Copper-T 200 Acceptors

Abstract

The Copper-IUD -- Cu-T 200 -- is a reliable, safer simple and cost effective method of contraception. And yet, its general acceptance is low as compared to sterilization even in the state of Goa where female literacy is over 68 per cent. During 1990-91, the effective couple protection rate in Goa was 33.9 per cent and the contribution of Cu-T towards this was only 3.9 per cent as against 24.4 per cent provided b y sterilization and the remaining 5.6 per cent by other methods.
