In Kilimanjaro region, a study was carried out in Mwanga and Moshi urban districts to investigate the level of contraception awareness and to determine their effects on fertility decline. A sample population of 1255 respondents was involved, out of whom 956 were females and 299 were males. Overall, results indicated that 94.4% women in their reproductive age were aware of at least one contraceptive method. On the other hand, of the 743 women asked, only 37.9% confidently reported of current use of modern contraceptive method. It was also observed that those with secondary education and above had the highest prevalence of contraceptive usage at 50.2%.

Therefore, it is recommended that educational opportunities for women especially secondary education should be expanded; and that women be given a special priority in the allocation of places in secondary schools.Item Work-Related Stress among the Library and Information Workforce(MCB UP Ltd, 1995) Nawe, JulitaDiscusses factors responsible for inappropriate levels of stress, symptoms of distress and techniques for managing it, with specific reference to library and information work.
