ARMENIA
According to the results of the Demographic and Health Survey
conducted in Armenia in 2005, 20% of the 8013 interrogated citizens at
the age of 15-49 use modern contraceptive methods in Armenia.
Today, when presenting the results of the survey, Deputy Health
Minister of Armenia Tatoul Hakobyan noted that 53% of the interrogated
women use contraceptives, 34% of them are married. T.Hakobyan said
that the most popular contraceptive methods in Armenia are the
interruption of sexual intercourse (28%), intrauterine devices (9%)
and condoms (8%). Though Armenian women prefer the interruption of
sexual intercourse as a planned parenthood method, nevertheless, it is
the most effective method to avoid pregnancy, T.Hakobyan emphasized.
The Demographic and Health Survey in 2005 was held by the Armenian
Health Ministry, the National Statistical Service of Armenia with the
financial support of the USAID, UNICEF and UNFPA. To note, a similar
survey was held in Armenia in 2000.
