Thailand’s national family planning policy.
My geographical area of interest is Thailand. The dissertation project that I envision will study Thailand’s national family planning policy and its impact on Thai women’s health. I hope to focus on Thai women’s perspectives regarding contraception and pregnancy, the local remedies that women use as contraceptive methods, the conceptual frameworks and theories behind reasons for such perceptions and practices, the cultural perspectives of health care providers, and the constructs that underlie these providers’ decision making and client interactions. I will also analyze ways in which the described areas of knowledge correlate and influence each other under the structure of the national family planning policy. |
