Description Greenstar/Pakistan (GS/Pakistan) conducted a national household survey designed to investigate behaviors related to family planning use among married men and women living in Pakistan. This survey aimed to: 1) identify behavioral determinants associated with the use of a modern method of family planning; 2) formulate baseline findings to inform communication campaigns promoting family planning messages; 3) monitor levels of behavioral practices as well as determinants of modern methods of family planning; 4) assess respondents exposure to different communication channels. This baseline study consisted of a cross-sectional survey conducted in April 2007. The target population of the study was married females of reproductive aged 15-49 years and males whose wives were in the age bracket of 15-49 years, who live in all four provinces of Pakistan: Punjab, Sindh, North Western Frontier (NWF) and Baluchistan. A multi-stage, stratified, systematic, disproportionate sampling methodology was used. A sample of 4062 eligible respondents (2032 males and 2030 females) was recruited for the first round of the survey. The main survey tool was a questionnaire used to conduct verbal interviews. Information was collected on respondents' demographic characteristics, behavior related to family planning, knowledge of family planning methods, quality of family planning services, social norms, social support, attitudes, self-efficacy, locus of
control related to family planning, and exposure to media channels and other social marketed products and services. Data were weighted for the analysis. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors significantly associated with modern methods of family planning among men and women with met and unmet need. Simple frequencies and means were run on descriptive data to permit monitoring of project indicators.
