It addresses the roles of diffusion processes, ideational change, social networks, and mass communications in changing behavior and values, especially as related to childbearing. A new body of empirical research is currently emerging from studies of social networks in Asia (Thailand, Taiwan, Korea), Latin America (Costa Rica), and Sub-Saharan Africa (Kenya, Malawi, Ghana). Given the potential significance of social interactions to the design of effective family planning programs in high-fertility settings, efforts to synthesize this emerging body of literature are clearly important. 606 $aCommunication in family planning$zDeveloping countries$vCongresses 606 $aFertility, Human$zDeveloping countries$vCongresses 615 0$aCommunication in family planning 615 0$aFertility, Human 676 $a304.6/32/091724 701 $aCasterline$b John B$01806455 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Population. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964133203321 996 $aDiffusion processes and fertility transition$94365192 997 $aUNINA
