AN APPRAISAL OF ILLITERATE MOTHERS PERCEPTION ON BIRTH CONTROL

This study was undertaken to find out the attitude of illiterate mothers in Onitsha North L.G.A toward birth control. This project tries to find out why these illiterate mothers neglect birth control thus produce as many children as possible even to their own detriment. To make this study successful, questionnaires were used to collect the necessary data. In answering the question, the data collected and information gathered were analysed using the sample percentages. The result revealed that they produce many children because they have no idea of the existence of an organized instruction on birth control, some didnâ€t like the idea of birth control and some their husband didnâ€t like to practice birth control. On the basis of these findings some recommendations were made on how to motivate people to accept and practice birth control.
