Abstract
Despite the absence of a family planning programme, the prevalence of
sterilisation in Brazil has increased substantially, such that it is u
sed by relatively young women in poor areas of the country. Sterilisat
ion is influenced more by the characteristics of the health service th
an by socioeconomic characteristics of the population.
