consultations at a health facility. Given the relatively high coverage <strong>of</strong> ANC services in <strong>Timor</strong>-<strong>Leste</strong>,<br />

this represents at least one under-utilized opportunity for education <strong>and</strong> promotion in family planning.<br />

This low level <strong>of</strong> contact <strong>of</strong> nonusers with family planning providers varies little by urban-rural<br />

residence, education, <strong>and</strong> wealth. Exposure is lowest among very young women (15-19 years) <strong>and</strong><br />

among women residing in Ermera, Baucau, <strong>and</strong> Ainaro.<br />

Table 5.14 Contact <strong>of</strong> nonusers with family planning providers<br />

Among women age 15-49 who are not using contraception, the percentage who during the last 12 months were<br />

visited by a fieldworker who discussed family planning, the percentage who visited a health facility <strong>and</strong> discussed<br />

family planning, the percentage who visited a health facility but did not discuss family planning, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

percentage who neither discussed family planning with a fieldworker nor at a health facility, by background<br />

characteristics, <strong>Timor</strong>-<strong>Leste</strong> <strong>2009</strong>-<strong>10</strong><br />

5.18 HUSBAND’S KNOWLEDGE OF WIFE’S USE OF CONTRACEPTION<br />

Concealment <strong>of</strong> contraceptive use is an indication <strong>of</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> communication or<br />

disagreement on use <strong>of</strong> family planning. To shed light on the extent <strong>of</strong> communication regarding use<br />

<strong>of</strong> contraception among married couples, currently married women who were using contraception at<br />

the time <strong>of</strong> the survey were asked whether their husb<strong>and</strong> knew <strong>of</strong> their use. Almost all users (97<br />

percent) reported that their husb<strong>and</strong>s know about their use <strong>of</strong> contraception (Table 5.15), an<br />

indication, perhaps, that <strong>Timor</strong>ese husb<strong>and</strong>s in general are supportive <strong>of</strong> contraceptive use among<br />

their wives.
