ABSTRACT
By interviewing 132 women who attended a postnatal clinic at a maternity centre in the suburbs of Kampala; Uganda; in the months of april and may; 1991; it was possible to estimate birth intervals. More than 50 percent of women had previous birth intervals of less than 2 years. A combination of women's previous pregnancies and having gone to school showed a statistically significant difference when compared with intervals. The other minor factors which influenced birth intervals were women's age and region of origin in Uganda. It is concluded that previous family planning practice influenced birth intervals. So education and information on family planning should be given everywhere and to everyone
