In the past, the Egyptian Information, Education and Communication Center (IEC) SIS/IEC Center has used research findings to develop messages on the health benefits of family planning to mothers and children, proper use of contraceptive methods, and the need for acquiring correct information. A recent analysis of the 1995 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey data on 9153 currently married women aged 15-49 aimed to generate preliminary audience segments and profiles of different groups of current users, never users, and discontinuers of family planning methods so the Center can develop messages on family planning and birth spacing. 47.1% of all women in the analysis currently used contraception. 19.8% had used contraception, but did not do so currently. 33.1% had never used contraception. The leading factors affecting contraceptive use were husband's approval, husband-wife communications, desire for more children, and religion. Based on what was learned from discontinuers, the Center made two general conclusions. It needs to design special messages targeting discontinuers or never users. These special messages need to concern the groups' knowledge about different family planning methods, side effects, birth spacing methods, and birth limiting methods. Husband involvement in family planning is essential. Thus, the Center needs to develop special messages geared to men. To do so, however, a cluster analysis for husbands would be helpful in message development.

The fieldwork for this research was carried out in Dakahlia governorate in Lower Egypt and Sohag governorate in Upper Egypt. In Dakahlia governorate, 11 clusters (3 urban and 8 rural) and in Sohag governorate, 6 clusters (2 urban and 4 rural) were chosen at random, each with 16 households yielding a sample of 1020 households or mothers to predict diarrhea. Population census data were also obtained from the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) for the two governorates for 1984. Using a multiple regression model a step-up (forward) selection procedure from the set of independent variables involving all 63 variables in the data set was carried out. A linear logistic regression model (LLR) for Dakahlia governorate was based on 660 observations and 6 out of 63 variables. The probability of no diarrhea was low in children whose family disposed of refuse near the house or in surface water, while the probability of no diarrhea increased with owning land, mothers' knowledge of symptoms and causes of diarrhea (watery stools, thirst, and dentition), and mothers' previous use of oral rehydration for treatment. An LLR model for Sohag governorate was based on 360 observations using 10 out of 63 variables. Owning land, mother's knowledge about symptoms of diarrhea (watery stools), increasing numbers of stools, causes of choosing place of treatment, type of residence (urban or rural), eating during diarrhea, and decision about who takes treatment were useful in predicting diarrhea. In Sohag governorate, the logistic regression model with 10 variables achieved a 66.67% agreement between predicting diarrhea and the observed incidence with high sensitivity and moderate specificity compared with the other models.
