There is no doubt that women and children form part of those groups of greater vulnerability in all developing countries, and even in those countries with relatively high economic growth. Women have awakened particular interest in recent years, in all settings in which they might confront some type of discrimination and/or where they may be more vulnerable than their male counterparts, due to their innate characteristics. This situation is no different in Peru, and women have been the object of a series of social programs in various areas. However, the results of these programs have not been adequately evaluated, nor have the programs been according to how well they have achieved the original objectives for which they were designed. It is for this reason that we have concentrated our efforts on analyzing problems related to reproductive health in Peru, one of the most debated areas in what are referred to as women’s issues. It should be noted that despite the efforts realized in recent years in family planning, the mother-child population has continued to increase in absolute terms, producing considerable congestion in the use of services, as coverage and quality in supply have not increased at the same rate. It is for this reason that this study has attempted to investigate the determinants of reproductive health service utilization in the country, used as a mechanism to identify possible problems in the design and coverage of principle activities that have been carried out by each government so far in these areas. Our research is focused on the study of four types of interventions: family planning, birth control, birth services, and the pap smear. Despite obvious differences in analysis due to the very characteristics of these interventions, it has been possible for us to reach general conclusions. Specifically, we have found that the variables with the most influence over reproductive and family health decisions are those related to the level of education and socio-economic status of the family, rather than those variables related to income and cost of services. In addition, coverage and quality of services have shown a relative importance in determining regular usage
