| RESULTS: Vietnam’s total fertility rate was 1.6 children per woman, whereas the rate among ethnic minorities in the northern uplands and central highlandswas 2.6 and 2.8, respectively .These groups also had a lower abortion rate than the national average (0.3–0.5 vs. 0.7), and were less likely than the group comprising the Kinh majority and the Chinese minority to have used either a modern or traditional contraceptive (odds ratios,0.4–0.7) or to have had an abortion (0.2–0.6).The likelihood of having had an abortionwas elevated among older (5.6–21.2) and better educated women (1.4–1.7), as well as among those with one or two children and those from socioeconomically advantaged ethnic groups (1.2–1.4). Finally, abortion rates were higher amongwomen who practiced traditional methods than among those who used modern ones. CONCLUSIONS: Because better access to abortion is unlikely by itself to reduce fertility among high-fertility minority groups, programs that provide supportive reproductive health services and that target young, low-parity and less educated women may help to lower fertility among these groups. | |
