Abstract: In the context of the new perspective that looks at men as potential partners in reproductive health, this study focuses on how men’s participation encourages women to utilise health services for improving their own reproductive health. Reproductive health covers an array of issues; the present study examines the contraceptive, obstetric, and reproductive tractrelated health of women. Men’s participation in the present study is examined in terms of spousal communication on family planning, contraceptive usage, support extended during obstetric period, and sexual healthcare. The study was carried out in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the villages and 223 couples for the study.
