The aim of our study is to evaluate family planning services in Bolu or Dörtdivan District and to investigate whether women’s risk conditions in terms of family planning are consistent according to the survey and the 15-49 year-old monitoring forms. The study includes a total of 1365 women in the 15-49 age group in the district of Dörtdivan. The systemic sampling method included a total of 205 women from 75 urban and 130 rural areas in the survey in proportion to the population. The prepared survey form was applied face-to-face to women who agreed to participate in the survey by visiting one of the six homes between August and September 2009. The number of women who use the effective method is 109 (53.2%), the number of women who use the inactive method is 39 (19.0%) and the number of women who do not use the method is 57 (27.8%). The reason why women prefer the method is: being reliable is 72 (%66.1), having a low side effect is 18 (%16.5), 16 (%14.7) is easily accessible and cheap is 1 (%0.9) in the form of women. When the method began to be used, 56 of the women (50.9) received health care. 79 of the women (73.8 percent) used health care to provide the method. The frequency of use of the method was greater in the age group 35-44 (x2=56.9, p<0.001), in recent women who did not want a child (x2=28.5, p<0.001). The number of women who responded to the questions asked in the survey prepared for risks in terms of family planning was 146 (86.9%), compared to the 15-49-year-old women’s monitoring records. The risk assessment was consistent (Cappa = 0.76, p< 0.001). The health center has played an important role in women making decisions about using the method and providing the method. The most commonly used method is condoms, which indicates that not only women, but men are also involved in the service.
