Contraceptive Efficacy a Retrospective Analysis Among Nigerian
Journal Title: Current Trends on Biostatistics & Biometrics - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: This study examined contraceptive use patterns and method selection among women of reproductive age in Nigeria, with a particular focus on the extent to which demographic and socio - economic characteristics influenced contraceptive use practice. The Logistic models shows that women who know at least one method are more likely to use any contraceptive method than their non-method-knowing counterparts. Moreover, those women with more children ever born are more likely than their counterparts with fewer children ever born to use modern contraceptive methods. The probable reason for this may be that women with fewer children may still want more children and have the fear of side effects attributed to modern contraceptives. Contraception is one of reproductive health’s essential elements. It enables young people to determine the timing and number of their children and empowers them with respect and dignity to manage their lives. Productive health for adolescents is increasingly recognized as one of human development’s major determinants. Among the main development concerns regarding contraception or prevention of unwanted early pregnancies considered to have significant potential to improve the status. According to the World Bank, Nigeria’s annual population growth rate is late measured at 2.66 percent in 2014 and has been a major concern for population experts, statisticians, demographers and policy makers for a number of times. Nigeria’s relatively high birth rate, accompanied by steady death rate declines, has resulted in high population growth rates (Ebigbola and Ogunjuyigbe 1998), with an estimated doubling period of less than 25 years [1].
