Dr. K. Jothy

Abstract :

The Global disease burden of Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs), including Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), is a major health concern. Research evidences till show that only a few studies have been sophisticated on gynecological morbidity. Similarly the studies that deal with obstetric morbidity are very limited. Hence it is necessary to examine the determinants of RTIs in relation with socio economic and demographic characteristics by making use of appropriate framework. With this background an investigation has been made in this study to analyze the linkages of socio economic and demographic variables of women and the prevalence of RTIs. The association between the socio economic and demographic characteristics and the symptoms of reproductive morbidity has been statistically verified with the use of Analysis of variance and Chi-Square test. Some Policy measures have also been suggested.
