Description
Elihuruma Eliufoo Stephano, Victoria Godfrey Majengo, and Mtoro Mtoro measured how many young Tanzanian women know when in the cycle pregnancy is most likely, in this 2025 survey study. The data come from the 2022 national demographic and health survey, covering women aged fifteen to twenty-four. Only about nineteen percent knew the fertile period.
Knowledge rose with age, schooling, media exposure, and a recent visit to a health facility. Women in the central and southern zones scored higher than elsewhere. Secondary schooling more than tripled the odds of knowing. The authors urge teaching that meets girls where they are, through schools, clinics, and media, so that family planning choices rest on facts rather than guesswork.
