Reversible Male Contraceptives Preferences in Nigeria Survey
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
Male contraceptive preferences in Nigeria are major pointers to acceptance, demand and sustained use of new reversible male contraceptive technologies. This study is designed to assess the willingness of Nigerian men to become actors in shared reproductive responsibility. A cross-sectional study design with mixed-methodology which adopted both qualitative and quantitative research – using desk research, in-depth and household interviews, focus group discussions and online polls - was adopted. A total of 1,442 respondents were questioned; 801 from rural areas and 641 from urban areas. Male contraceptive use was defined by factors that influence the desire to practice contraception. 68.85% of the respondents say they would use reversible male contraceptives, if they were available; 54.27% of the respondents who were against it, said they would not use reversible male contraceptives because of the fear of adverse health risks. Our findings show that a considerable proportion of men had knowledge of family planning methods. The results show thatthere is a demand for reversible male contraceptives among the male population in Nigeria. It is evident that if other types of reversible male contraceptives are made available, they will be readily accepted.
