In a population of 5000, there are 19 % eligible couples. To achieve a couple protection rate (CPR) of 60%, how many of these should be covered for family planning services?
This question asks us to determine the number of couples that need family planning coverage to meet a specific Couple Protection Rate (CPR) target within a given population.
First, find the total number of eligible couples in the population.
Calculation:
$ \text{Eligible Couples} = 5000 \times \frac{19}{100} = 5000 \times 0.19 = 950 $
There are 950 eligible couples in the population.
Next, calculate how many of these eligible couples need to be covered to achieve the target CPR of 60%.
Calculation:
$ \text{Couples to be covered} = 950 \times \frac{60}{100} = 950 \times 0.60 = 570 $
To achieve a 60% Couple Protection Rate (CPR), 570 eligible couples must be covered for family planning services.
