“…In line with previous literature (19,21,24,25,28), our ndings also revealed that women were less likely to use modern contraceptives with increasing age when controlling for other factors. Modern contraceptive use among women 45-49 years of age was lower than adolescent women (women within 15-19 years of age).…”

“…Married women who have used pills, injectables, implants, intra-uterine devices (IUDs), condoms, sterilization, diaphragms, spermicides, and sponges were categorized and coded as modern contraceptive method users (18), whereas non-users and a very few (less than 1%) traditional users were coded as non-users. Explanatory variables were categorized based on prior evidence (8,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). These include women's age, women's educational level, and women's occupation, place of residence, regions, religion, and husband educational level.…”

Background: Maternal mortality is unacceptability high in Sub-Saharan-African countries including Angola. Despite family planning is one of the vital intervention to reduce maternal death, the coverage of modern contraceptive use in Angola is extremely low and there is a paucity of evidence regarding current factors associated with contraceptive use in Angola. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating predictors of contraceptive use among married women in Angola using nationally representative data.Methods: The data were extracted from 2015/16 Angola Multiple Indicator and Health Survey for this study and approximately 8,033 married women aged 15 - 49 years were participated. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed using STATA version 14 software to identify the predictors, and p-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: The coverage of modern contraceptive use among married women was 8.9%. Maternal age, women’s educational level, maternal occupation, place of residence, media exposure, number of living children, desire for more children and subnational region were main predictors for modern contraceptive use.Conclusion: Modern contraceptive use among married women in Angola was very low. Married women who were educated, wealthiest, exposed for media, who had living children, interested to have child after 2 years and those who were not interested to have at all were more likely to use contraceptive. Therefore, the government of Angola and other concerned bodies need to emphasize in empowering women through education and economy as well as dissemination of contraceptive related information through media especially for women’s living in rural settings.

“…is is owing to implants' fewer requirements of providers and a lesser quantity of contraceptive supplies than a program relying on short-acting methods [5]. Furthermore, implants prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the number of abortions, and lower the incidence of death and disability related to complications of pregnancy and childbirth [6]. Use of implants also frees a woman from using injectable contraceptives every three months and daily pills during the intended birth intervals because they are effective in preventing pregnancy from 3 to 5 years [5,7].…”

Globally, 53% of women in reproductive age group use modern methods of contraception, with less than one percent of which using implants. In Ethiopia and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa, short-term contraceptive methods have been more utilized than long-acting methods like implants. Despite their effectiveness, implants have been underutilized due to various reasons. There is a dearth of stronger evidences on those factors in the country in general and the study area in particular. Therefore, this study aimed to identify determinants of implant utilization among married women of reproductive age at Chencha town, Gamo Gofa Zone, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia. A community-based case-control study design was conducted among 324 women of reproductive age, 90 cases (users of implants) and 234 controls (users of short-acting contraceptives) from July to August 2017. Data were collected using a pretested, structured questionnaire through face-to-face interview. The data were entered and coded using Epi info 3.5.1 and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 for cleaning and analysis. Descriptive analysis was done to quantify proportions, means, and standard deviations of variables. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were done to identify the determinants of implant utilization. A total of 324 married women of reproductive age group were interviewed with response rate of 98%. In this study, the major determinants for implant utilization were desire to have 3–4 children {AOR = 0.104, 95% CI (0.03, 0.4)}, husband disproval {AOR = 0.11, 95% CI (0.038, 0.314)}, joint decision {AOR = 3.11, 95% CI (1.02, 9.48)}, and decision by other persons {AOR = 0.065, 95% CI (0.012, 0.352)}. This study found out that desire to have more children, husband disapproval, joint decision making, and decision by other persons were determinants of implant utilization among the target women. Implant utilization would improve through strengthening existing interventions targeting women with high fertility desire, transformation of gender norms in household decisions, and counseling for informed decisions.

Introduction: The Health Belief Model (HBM) is one of the major conceptual frameworks guiding current research as well as practice in the health sciences. It takes into account the multiple factors present in a person’s decisions to live a healthy life, seek help when needed, and maintain periodic check-ups and screening. Aim of the study is to identify perception of women towards contraceptive methods using the health belief model. Research design: A descriptive research design was utilized in this study. Setting: This study was conducted at four family planning clinics affiliated to four maternity hospitals namely: EL- Shatby Maternity University hospital affiliated to Alexandria University, Dar-Ismail Maternity hospital affiliated to Ministry of Health, Faisal hospital affiliated to Health Insurance and Dar ALWelada hospital affiliated to Medical Health Association. Subjects: A convenience sample of 320 women who were seeking family planning services. Tools; Tool I: Contraceptive users' basic data structured interview schedule; Tool II: Contraceptive users' Health Belief scale. Results: Approximately an equal percent (56.56% & 43.44%) of the contraceptive users perceived themselves either highly susceptible or moderately susceptible for threat of getting pregnant, respectively. More than three-fourths (76.25%) of them had moderate perceived severity to the problems associated with contraceptive use compared to only 23.75% of them who had high level of perception. As much as 84.37% of them highly perceived the benefits of contraception uptake. Meanwhile, almost all (93.44%) of them moderately perceived barriers associated with contraception utilization. Conclusion: Contraceptive users had high perception related to susceptibility of the threat of pregnancy and benefits of contraceptive methods utilization. Moreover, the vast majority of them had moderate perception to severity and barriers associated with contraception uptake. Last but not least, there was a statistically significant correlation between women's health beliefs and their utilization of contraceptive method.
