The authors examine the reasons for discontinuation and non-use of various modern contraceptive methods by tribal's and draw contrasts with practices in the urban population. They consider the roles of women, family members, local leaders, and effective communication, along with NGOs and the private sector, and make recommendations for increasing access to and usage of various family-planning methods by the tribal's.<p>This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p>Pages
