In 375 women who accepted contraception at a clinic in northern Nigeria there were significant differences between IUD and pill acceptors. The pill acceptors were younger women of lower parity who tended to be less educated and mostly not engaged in any profession. The IUD clients were older women of high parity with better education and many had occupations outside the home. The most striking difference was in the religious affiliations of the 2 groups. The majority of Muslim women (72.9%) opted for the pill whereas the majority of Christian women (55.9%) chose the IUD.
