Abstract：

:The summary results from the 1989 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey are tabled and graphically presented. The nationally representative sample includes 8173 households with 7150 interviews from women 15-49 years. Data was collected between December and May 1989 from all provinces except the North Eastern Province and 4 northern provinces, which comprise about 5% of the population. Results include general characteristics of the population; the educational level of women; fertility trends (6.7 total fertility rate for 1986-88) compared to UN estimates (7.9 for 1980-5; fertility differentials by residence, and by educational level; age specific fertility (4 years for 15-19 year olds is 152 births/1000 women, 20-24 years is 314 births/100 women, and 303 birth/1000 women and declining thereafter with increasing age); fertility preferences (desired children, desire to stop childbearing, and planning status of births in 12 months prior to survey by birth order); current contraceptive use (contraceptive preference differentials, contraceptive prevalence by age and parity, and source of supply for current users of modern methods by method);contraception (knowledge and use of methods among currently married women, intention to use contraception in the future by currently married nonusers, and reason for nonuse by those 30 years and 30 years); marital and contraceptive status (current marital status, differentials in age at 1st marriage, and marital and contraceptive status); postpartum variables (duration of postpartum interval by current status, differentials in breastfeeding and amenorrhea, and postpartum status by duration since birth); infant mortality (infant mortality trends, infant mortality differentials for 1979-89 by residence and education level, and children ever born and surviving); and disease prevention and treatment (%12-23 months with health card and % immunized, %5 years with diarrhea 2 weeks prior to survey and % receiving different treatments, and type of assistance during delivery for births in the last 5 years). The mean desired number of children was 4.4 43.1% wanted the 1st and 2nd children later, and 41.7% wanted the 3rd or more children later; 14.2% did not want the 3rd or more children. The government hospital was the primary source of modern methods, but the most frequently used current method was periodic abstinence (7.5) followed by the pill (5.2). More nonusers reported lack of knowledge. Age at 1st marriage was 17.9 and increased with educational level. The infant mortality rate was 60. Of the 61% with a health card 90.7% had DPT (3) immunization.
