  • Recently published research results include a comprehensive Use-Dynamics study ([6] below) which asked detailed questions of a sample of over 3,000 implant users (both continuing and non-continuing) and 400 providers in two provinces, West Java and West Sumatra. A large eleven-province study ([51 below) covered nearly 9,000 users, most from urban areas, focusing on characteristics of the women and side effects. Much of what we know about the current situation comes from these two studies, along with other smaller-scale studies and reviews (especially Tacoma, M.L. 1991. The introduction and use of Norplant in Indonesia from a user perspective. Draft report, The Netherlands Embassy, Jakarta). Other research is still ongoing, and findings constantly point to new areas which require further investigation.
