FACTORS INFLUENCING <strong>THE</strong> USE OF PRENATAL DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES … independent effects of key socioeconomic variables on the use of PNDT. Accordingly, Table 6 shows the results of logistic regression of the determinants of PNDT use. As the table shows, most of the variables used in the regression have significant, independent effects on the use of PNDT. The use of PNDT increases with maternal as well as paternal age. But the use of this technology is lower if the order of birth is three or more. It is particularly low if the mother already has given birth to a son. Urban residence, educational level, exposure to media and standard of living show strong, independent and positive effects on the use of PNDT. Its use is higher among Christians, and if the religion is other than Hindu, Muslim or Sikh. The use is lower among members of scheduled tribes and scheduled castes, even after controlling for standard of living and educational level. When compared with nonworkers, the use is lower among mothers who work but not for wage. The use of PNDT is lower among mothers having larger ideal family sizes and among those who gave non-numeric answer to the question on ideal family size. Women who were visited by health workers during the pregnancy report lower use of PNDT. This finding is directly in contradiction with the claim of some activists that public health workers act as conduits of this technology in rural areas. Even after controlling these variables, eastern, north-central and north-western parts of India show lower use of PNDT than southern states. In other words, the geographical pattern seen in the PNDT use cannot fully be explained by the observed socioeconomic variations. This indicates the influence of neighbourhood on the use of technology. 3.2. Determinants of Sex ratio at Birth In recent years the use of PNDT has emerged as the key intervening variable through which other factors influence the SRB in India. There are, however, a number of factors that independently affect the SRB. Teitelbaum (1972) provides an early review of the literature on this subject. James (1987) and Waldren (1998) provide a more recent review of the literature. Chahnazarian (1988) has applied multivariate techniques to test the independent effects of some of these variables using vital statistics data for several countries. For India, Retherford and Roy (2003) have used the NFHS data to test the significance of a limited set of factors. Here, using the same data set, an attempt is made to test the significance of far more variables on the SRB. 151
