General Discussion and Conclusion of Study
Recomendations
Appendix (Cross-tables - Questionnaire). Introduction
In spite of the over population problem which Egypt faces, many theoretical and academic studies have been conducted on this problem. Meanwhile the applied research about this problem is very little which indicates no balance between the problem and the member of applied studies.
In the past few years, many private association, have contributed in this field beside governnental efforts in order to overcome this problem.
Family of the future is considered as one of the pioneers in this field for its efforts and activities to achieve the objectives of the national policy of population FOF started its activities 3 years ago (in 1979). It specifies a great part of its activities for the awareness of the population problem in general and the usage of contraceptives in particular. FOF plans mainly to arhieve this goal through the rallies which are held in over-populated areas,especially in the urban areas which are characterized with high birth rates.
Another important activity of FOF is directed towards providing physicians and pharmacists with contraceptives at reasonable prices for consumers.
The FOF research department conducted research studies to explore public physicians and pharmacists attitudes towards FOF products and its distribution system.
The findings of these research studies has assisted in constructing its policy and future plans .
The current research aims are to study the relation between FOF, rallies and their effects on the distribution system among physicians and pharmacists. Subject of the Study
The main objective of FOF rallies is to inform people about the population problem and family planning methods. -2-
FOF believes that this will increase the sales of its products and, also raise the usage efficiency. To continue the rallies activity, we have to be sure that.the costs and efforts of conducting rallies is proportionate with its effectiveness on sales. For future plans it is important to answer the following question: Did rallies achieve its goal and increase the distributed quantities of contraceptives? The answer of this question is the main goal of our study. Objectives of the Study The purpose of this study in general is to identify the relation between the FOF rallies which were held in greater Cairo in 1982 and the distributed amounts during the same year.
The Objectives of the Study are:
1. Identify the rallies effectiveness on increasing attendants'intormation about contraceptives and also the suitability of this information.
2. The effect of attending rallies on using contraceptives in general and FOF products in particular.
Identify the relation between time sequence of rallies and the demand of contraceptives.
4. Identify the relation between the geographicall distribution of raliies and the flow of demand of contraceptives.

IV. Conclusion and Reccmendations. I. Methodology
1. Saple Selection
The samplinS population of this study is the public who attended the FOF rallies in greater Cairo during 1982. According to the FOF recorded data, FOF conducted 906 rallies with (53861) attendants (males and fenales). These rallies were held in (28) geographical areas in greater Cairo. The sample was selected in two steps:
1. The three areas with the highest niuber of rallies were selected from the 28 areas of greater Cairo. These areas are: Shoubra, Tababa and Giza. 229 rallies with 13740 attendants were held in the above three areas during 1982. This is equal to 25.3% from the total number of rallies and 25.5% from the total number of attendants.
2. A stratified random sample was drawn from the FOF list of rallies'attendants during 1982. This sample consisted of (158) attendants (80 males and 78 females).
To achieve the objectives of this study a control purposive sample of (162) persons (82 males and 80 females) who never attend FOF rallies was randomly selected fron the same three areas. This means that the total sample consisted of (320) persons.
II.Study Tools
A. Recorded Data
This study depends on the FOF available recorded data about number of rallies, number of attendants, and distributed quatities of FOF products during 1982. These products are: IUD copper T, copper 7, "Amman" foaming tablets and "Topps" Condum.
B. Questionnaire
A quastionnaire has been designed including parts about demographic information, knowledge about family planning and FOF association, sources of getting contraceptives, and suggestions about rallies and contraceptive methods. This questionnaire has been tested anong 32 cases, and according to the pre-test results the questionnaire was modified. (A copy of this questionnaire is attached in the Appendix).
C. Individual Interviews
Individual interviews were held among FOF medical representatives and distributers to obtain extra information about rallies and distribution systems to integrate with field study data.
III. Data Collection
Ten FOF trained volunteers carried out the field work in three weeks, and at the sane time three researchers tabulated the FOF recorded data Ii,five weeks. The office and field data check have been done during March 1983. Three expert researchers conducted the individual interviews during April 1.983.
IV. Analysli
1. Analysis of variations in the quarterly data of the distributed quantities of FOF products to physicians and pharmacists during 1982. This is done by calculating the weighted geamatric means for this data.
2. Analysis of variations in the quarterly nunbers rallies which were held during 1982 in the (28) areas. This is also done by calculating the weighted ecametric means.
3. Using person's correlation factors to estimate correlations betwaen the distributed quantities of FOF products and the number of rallies and its attendants.
4. Tabulating the frequency distributions for all questionnaire variables. 7
5. Testing the significance of deviation between attendants and non-attendants of rallies concerning the quantity of knowledge about family planning and contraceptives. This is done by calculating the contingency factors.
6. Testing the segnificance of deviations in attendants knowledge according to variables/4e, sex, education, and incone.
Findings of the Study
Findings of the study will be in three parts:
1. Field data findings.

MAIN CLARACTERISTICS OF THE SAMPLE
The study consisted of two samples, an experimental sample of (158) persons who attended FOF rallies and a contr3l sample of (162) persons who never attended FOF rallies. Half of the experimental sample is males and the other is females, all of rhem are married and in the fertile age. The sample is distributed on the three geographical areas as follows:
Shoubra 36Z - Giza 362 - Bababa 28%).
The control sample was selected from people who had never attended rallies but had the same characteristics of the experimental sample concerning sex, marriage status, and geographical distribution.

family planning, since all of the attendants heard about
family planning and (99%) of these who never attended
rallies heard about it. This means that the twenty years
of promoting family planning issue, and the varity of
communication channels related to family planning make
people aware of this matter and do not hear about it for
the first time from rallies. Table (30) Experimental Sample/Control Sample Distribitiona According to Sex and Family Planning Methods they Know.

TabLe (30) indicated that the experimental sample respond .nts have more knowledge about contraceptives than the control sample e respondants, specially about IUD's, foaming tablets and Condoms, which are mentioned heavily in FOF rallies. (96%) of the experimental sample know the IUD's, versus (80%) only of the control sample, (61%) of the experimental sample know Condom versus (36%) only in the Control Sample, also 80 % of the experiment.al sample Know - foaming tablets versus (65%) only the control sample. In general these results reflect the effects of rallies in increasing knowledge about family planning methods. - 42
3. Knowledge about FOF Contraceptives: The majo,"ry of the total sample respondants have enough information about FOF contraceptive methods. For Tops Condom, (67%) of the control sample heard about it, versus (89%) of the exp. sample, with increment equal (22%). For Copper IUD's (88%) of the control sample heard about it, versus (95%) of the exp. sample with increment equal 7%. There is no difference between the two samples concerning hearing about foaming tablets "Anaon" (95% &ach). On the other hand, (6%) of the control sample and (3%) of the exp. sample heard about only one method. Those who heard about two methods represent (32%) of the control sample and (16%) of the exp. sample. Finally, those who heard about three methods represent (60%) of the control sample and (82%) of the exp. sample. These findings support the idea which says that rallies are important in informing about contraceptives which distributed by FOF association. Chapter (4)

Chapter (4) The Relation Between Rallies and FOF Distributed Quantities
Introduction
FOF uses different means of communications to spread information and knowledge about family planning among public. These means are: radio, T.V., newspapers,posters, booklets, pamphlets, conferences, and rallies.
Rallies is our interest in this study to identify the relation between rallies and the distributed quantities of FOF contraceptives.
This study illustrated the following points: A- Rallies geographical distribution which conducted during 1982 in Cairo metropolitan area according to its districts.
B- Time sequence for the nunber of rallies which conducted during 1982 in the same areas.
C- Geographical distribution and time sequence for FOF contraceptivves distributed during 1982.
D- Estimation of mathematical relation between nunber of rallies and nuber of attendants and distributed quantities of contraceptives.
First:- Rallies geographical distribution in Cairo Metropolitan area during 1982. - 4
A. Geographical Distribution for the Number of Rallies.
About 906 rallies held during 1982. This nunber was distributed in 28 districts of Cairo metropolitan area. The nunber of rallies in each district ranged between (8-83) rallies, the minimn was in El Zeitoun and the maximun was in Shoubra. In other words the number of rallies which conducted in ShOubra was ten times more the number of rallies in El Zettoun, although it is known that the number of habitants in Shoubra is slightly more than two times the S number of habitants in Ei-Zeitoun according to 1978 census.
Table (42) indicated that about (32%) of the districts had number of rallies between (10-20), (25%) of it had (20-30) rallies, also about (14%) had 60 rallies during 1982.
B. Geographical Disribution for Rallies'attendants:
About 53861 citizen attended FOF rallies during 1982. Table (43) indicated that the least number of attendants was in Abbdin district (444 citizen only), while the largest number of attendants was in Shoubra (5140 citizen). Total number of rallies attendants was between (500-1500) citizen in about 50% of Cairo District. Rallies attendants were more than (3000) citizen in about (18%) of Cairo districts. -45 -
C- Average number of attendants per rally:
It is already mentioned that the number of rallies which conducted during 1982 reached (906) rallies, with total number of attendants equal (53861) citizen. This means that the average number of rally's attendants was about 59 citizen. Findings of table (44) reflect strong differences in the average number of rally's attendants in Cairo metropolitan districts. The minimum average was 33 citizen in El Sayeda Zeineb, while the maximum was 163 citizen in El Zeitoun district.
It is worthwThile to say that about (46%) of Cairo districts achieved average between (50-70) citizen, this oL course near to the general average which was 59 citizen. When analyzing data of the number of rallies and its attendants we can notice that El Zeitoun district, in which the least number of rallies was conducted, achieved the highest average of rally's attendants. This means that the efforts in organizing rallies in this district were more concentrated and limited in short periods during the year. In the opposite, it is noticed that Sayeda Zeinebb district in which 61 rallies were conducted and had the second order
between districts concerning the number of rallies, this district had '-he least average of rally's attendants (33 citizen). This indicates that rallies organizers'efforts in this district were to increase the number of conducted rallies on a long scale during the year. - 46 -

Total 906 100
In general it is noticed that the highest number of rallies were conducted during December, November, March respectively, the number of rallies conducted during these months ranged between (11,1% - 15%) of the total number of rallies while February, August, October, July, September were moderate in number of conducted rallies, it ranged between(7,8 - 9,5%) during these months. Months with lower activity in this concern were April, January, May (4,6% - 6,8%) of the total number of conducted rallies. Finally the minimum number of rallies had been conducted during July (only (0.8%) of the total number of conducted rallies. Ramadan during 1982 gave an explanation for this decrease in the nunber of conducted rallies during July. 47 Third PfOF Distributed Iantities of Conraceptive duri1
FOF records (information and follow up department) indicated that the total quantities of contraceptives distributed during 1982 were as follows:

The Relation between FOF Distributed Contraceptives Quantities of and Rallies Conducted To during 1982: analyize the relation between quantities of the different contraceptives distributed by FOF during 1982 and the conducted during the rallies same year, the linear regression function been estimated by has using the least square method for each contraceptives which kind of is considered as while the dependent variable, the nunber of rallies'attendants is considered independent variable as the , findings of estimation are as follows: - 48 -
A. The Regrc-jzion-function for IUD (Coper T)
The rutltaton between distributed quantities of Copper T and nuiber of ralLies' attendants can be mathimatically formulated as follows:
Y= 2.95 + .53 X
(D2 = .41), qignificance level = .05 where: Y sales quantities of IUD (Copper T) per
thousand X = number of rallies'attendants per thousand c 1-izen The cal.c.niated detennlnation coefficient indicated that (41% ) of variitA oi in d :itrlbuted quantitias of Copper T is due to the varial icnn of numbers of rallies' attendants with statistica] confidence level = 95%
B-- TbW± regressi-on fonction for IUD (Copper 7):
The r-olation between districuted quantities of Copper 7 and number of rallies'attendants can be mathimatically formulated as follows:
Y .79 + .31X
(D = .34 ) significance level = .05 where:
Y = sales quantities of Copper 7 per thousand X = nunber of rallies' attendants per thousand The calculated determination coefficient indicated that (34%) of variation in distributed quantities of IUD Copper 7 is due to the variation of nunbers of rallies attendants.with statistical confidence level = 95% - 49.-
C- The Reg'ession function for IUD's Copper T and 7
The relation between total distributed quantities of Copper T and 7 together and number of rallies'attendants is estimated as follows:
Y = 3.75 + .84 X
2 ( D = 39%) significance level =.05 where
Y = total sales quantities of Copper T, 7 per thousand
X = number of rallies'attendants per thousand citizen
the determination coefficient indicated that about 39% of variation in sales quantities of IUD's T, 7 together is due to variation in ntlberjof rallies attendants with confidence level 95%
D- Tie regression function for foaming tablets (hnaan)
The relation between distributed quantities of foaming tablets (Anaan) and ninber of rallies'attendants can be formulated as follows:
y = ? 9 1 + .76 X
2 (D = 49% significance level = .05 where
Y = sales quantities of foaming tablets "Anaan" per hundred packages X = number of rallies' attendants per thousand the estimated determination coefficient indicated that about 49% 50
variation in sales quantities of foaming tablets "Anaan" is due to the variation in numbers of rallies' attendants with confidence level = 95%
E- The Regression function for condoms (Tops)
The regression relation between distributed quantities of Condom (Tops) and numbers of rallies'attendants estimated as follows:
Y 7.33 + 1.58 X
(D'= 38%), significance level = 05
Y = sales quantities of (Tops) Condoms per hundred units
X= number of rallies attendants per thousand citizens the calculated determination coefficient indicated that 38% of variation in sales quantities from tops condoms is due to variation in the numbers of attendants with confidence level = 95%
It is noticed that the calculated determination coefficients for the five previous equations are ranged between (34% - 49%) so we can say with confidence level = 95% that number of rallies attendants is responsible for a percentage ranged between 34% - 49% of variation in the distributed quantities from FOF contraceptives . This reflects the vital and important role of rallies in affecting the distributed quantities of FOF methods with a percentage ratiged between one third to half of the variations of distributed quantities. - 51 -
General Discussion and Conclusion of Study
This study included in its experimental sample, 158 respond-nts, married and at a child--earing age who attended the rallies organized by iCamily of the Future association to introduvce its birth control methods. Meanwhile, the control sample of the study included 162 respondents, married and at a child-bearing age who never attended any FOF rallies. The study denated, in the second chapter, to the great stnilarity, reaching the extent of being identical at time between the two sample in the general characteristics such as : sex, age, educational status, income, mar~tal years , nunber of children, and place of residence.
It was found that the nunber of rallies attended by the respondant, in the experimental sample was more than one rally in 46% of the cases and was one rally only in 54% of the cases. According to the respondants'view point, almost 75% of the information they received at those rallies was related, in almost equal percentages, to the importance of family planning, the knowledge about methods and the ways of using them, 96% of the respondants considered the quantity of information they received sufficient, 46% of the respondants participated positively during those rallies - 52 .
through the questions they asked to the physician (the rally's moderator) 99% of them said that the doctor answered all the questions he was asked. 82% of the respondants Sto .others transfered the information they received at those rallies who were not able to attend. 46% of those who transfered the information did so to their marital partener while the other 54% transfered information to people who are not their marital parteners. Concerning rallies arrangement, about (34%) of the respond jits of the experimental sample (and the same percentage also in the control sample) prefe rredthe afternoon time as the suitable time for conducting rallies, also (57%) of the experimental sample and (46%) of the control sample preferred the work place for conducting rallies, while the rest oC both samples prefered conducting rallies in the residence place.
About all respond ants of the experimental sample preferred the actual system of rallies, since (54%) of them attended mixed rallies, and almost the same percentage wanted to attend mixed rallies. Related to this also the sex of physician, since (47%) of the experimental sample, and (53%) of the control sample had no preference for the physician sex. About (70%) of the control sample who never attended rallies like to attend rallies in the future while the rest of them (30%) do not like that. The reasons for that were: they do not have enough time to attend rallies (53%),they have adequate information about rallies'subjects (13%). - 53 -
All respond Ahts of the experimental and the control samples heard about family planning.
For the effectiveness of rallies in increasing awareness about FOF association and its products, (96%) of rallies' attendants indicated that they heard about FOF versus (67%) of the control sample, the statistical significance which is assured for the difference between the two percentages indicated the effect of rallies in defining FOF association.
Rallies are considered an important source of information about FOF as mentionee by (77%) of the experimental sample respo..ses. Rallies also have a main role in increasing knowledge about FOF contraceptives. The findings indicated that (67%) only of the control sample heard about "Tops" versus (89%) of the experimental sample, the percentage for IUD was (95%) of Exp. Versus 88%, for foaming tablets "Anaan" ther was no difference between the exp. and the control samples (96% and 95% respectively). (82%)of the exp. sample and 75% of the control sample are practicing family planning. The most casual reasons for not practicing were: Current pregnancy (34% of all mentioned reasons) Recent marriage and suffering from side effects came in the second order with equal percentages (about 18% each), the rest of reasons for not practicing family planning (35%) were: - 54
husband absence or illness, desire of having more children and the spouse disagree.
About the direct effect of rallies in concerning attendants to use FOF contraceptives, findings indicated that rallies succeeded in convencing (18%) of those who attended and practice family planning to use FOF contraceptives. Copper IUD had the bigest acceptance in the transfer cases. The number of Copper IUD users incresed from 18 individuals before attending rallies to 31 individuals after attending it, with incresement equal about (72%) , while tile percentage in "Tops" Condalis was (57%), also in the case of fomning tablets"Anaan" the percentage reached (30%) (6 individuals only are convenced to transfer fran different methods to use foaming tablets).
The mentioned reasons for transferring were: Wife health (40%), decrease side effects (35%), physician's advice (17.5%), and easy to use (7.5%). The part of the study which based on the available recorded data assured most of the field study results. There is a significant statistical functional relation between the sold quantities of FOF contraceptives during 1982 and number of rallies'attendants in the same districts during this year. The results indicated also that (41%) of changes in the distributed quantities of Copper T and (34%) in the distributed quantities of Copper 7, and (39%) of changes in the distributed quantities of both IUD's (T,7), and (49%) of changes in the distributed quantities of foaming tablets "Anaan" and (38%) in the distributed quantities of Condom "Tops", all these changes are due to the changes in the numbers of rallies'attendants with a statistical confidence leve, equal 95%. This result reflect the important role of rallies. - 55 -
Consequently fram all this findings we can say that FOF rallies which conducted during 1982 in different districts of Cairo metropolitan area considered one of the fundamental approaches in increasing public awareness about FOF and its contraceptives. Also, the direct effect of this rallies is represented in convencing about (18%) of rallies attendants who practice family planning to change the methods they have used and transfered to one of FOF methods.
On the other hand these rallies assisted in informing people about the association and its products even for those who did not attend it. The majority of rallies'attendants transfe red infomiation they learned to their relations. Iis expanded the effect of this rallies to different groups of people.
The analytical study supported confidence of the general results about the relation between number of attendants and changes in the distributed quantities of the three contraceptives offered by FOF, with a percentage ranged between (34% - 49%). 6. Conduct rallies with a balanced percentages among districts during the year .
7. Develop a time table for conducting rallies in each district to cover each area, an establish periodical evaluation plan. (every three or four months).
Second: Recaomiendations concerning rallies information.
8. Increase the information about side effects of contraceptives and religious subjects.
9. Increase the information about the concept of family planning.
10. Encourage rallies attendants to transfer information to others.
Third: Recommendations concerning future researches.
11. Conduct a study about the scientific content of rally and the suitable technique.
12. Conduct a study about target groups and the information they need to know about family planning contraceptives.
13. Conduct a study among individuals who received information from rallies' attendants, to know how they received it and its impact on them. -57 -
Reccmendations
General Recommendation:
It is recommended to continue using the rallies approach for awareness of FOF contraceptive methods.
Special Recommendations
First: Recommendations concerning steps for organizing and conducting rallies. 1. The number of rallies which attended only by one sex (males or females), and dicrease the number of mixed rallies. 2. Conduct males'rallies in work places, and famales'rallies in residence places.
3. Conduct males'rallies in the morning and
females'rallies in afternoon.
4. Try to have the same sex of both physician and attendants.
5. The number of attendants in each rally must be about 60 in average or ranged between (50-70) persons. This helps in transfering information efficiently. Keeping a list of names and addresses of attendants will facilitate the follow up, and next studies. .Cross tables

On the other hand there is clear difference between males and females of the control sample, since (38%) of males didn't hear about FOF while (29%) of females didn't hear about it, this reflects the role of means of communication on women than men specially T.V. and advertisements.
Source of Hearing about FOF Association
The different sources of hearing about FOF association are categorized in table (33) according to respondents' answers. About (33%) of those who attended rallies mentioned that they heard about FOF frcm the rallies they attended, also about (46%) of attendants heard about FOF from rallies and other sources at the same tline. The rest of attendants (21%) mentioned that tney heard about FOF fron other sources rather than rallies. These findings indicated that rallies have an important role in informing the public about FOF association (77% of the respondants mentioned it as a source of information).
