“…The education status of women or husbands were the factors that affect the decisionmaking of women. 4,10,15 Similarly, those women who have less than 5 children were less likely to decide by their husbands than jointly as compared to those women who have greater than 5 children. The result indicated that women who have a lower number of children have more deciding power than those who have more than 5 children.…”

“…4 The joint decision of the current finding was relatively higher than the study done in South Africa and Bangladesh, in which about 45% and 61% of women decide on the matter of contraceptive use jointly with their husbands or partners, respectively. 6,15 The possible explanation for the difference might be due to differences in socioeconomic differences between the countries, for example, in South Africa the majority of women decide by themselves. This may be because of the South African women were more educated than our study area.…”

“…The result is similar to the study done in South Africa in which the women's decision-making influenced by their current occupation. 15 Women whose husbands had no formal education or secondary education were more likely to decide by themselves as compared to women whose husbands had higher education. The result is similar to previous studies.…”

“…On the contrary, women who had higher education and above were more likely to decide by their husband, this finding is in line with the study done in the Gedeo zone of Ethiopia, Mozambique, and South Africa. 4,14,15 Concerning the accessibility to media, those women who read newspapers or magazines less than once a week were less likely to decide by their husbands than jointly as compared to women who did not read newspapers or magazines at all. Reading newspaper and magazine improves the knowledge of women on contraceptive.…”

Background: Women are left out of the conversation on contraceptive use due to a variety of reasons. One of the reasons women have reported for their nonuse of family planning method is that they do not decide to use or not to use it. This study aimed to assess the women’s decision-making on contraceptive use and identify its associated factors. Methods: Data for this study were extracted from the national representative 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Data were collected using 2-stage cluster design, in which enumeration areas forming the first stage and households making the second stage. The analysis was done using multinomial logistic regression using STATA software version 14. Results: The study revealed that one-fourth (24.3%) 95% CI (23.7%-25.1%) decision was made by women. The multinomial analysis demonstrated women’s decision-making on contraceptive use was influenced by the age of women 15 to 19 years (adjusted odd ratio [AOR] = 0.327, 95% CI: 0.175-0.613), 20 to 24 years (AOR = 0.510, 95% CI: 0.390-0.666), and 25 to 29 (AOR = 0.557 95% CI: 0.460-0.675); place of residence (urban; AOR = 1.637, 95% CI: 1.331-2.015) and region in which the women dwell and husbands education; occupation of both woman and her husband; and number of children ever born were the factors significantly associated with the outcome variable. Conclusions: Women’s decision-making on contraceptive utilization was low. It was influenced by age, place of residence and region, education, occupation, and number of children ever born.

“…At the same time, uptake of family planning can improve women's socioeconomic status and increase their level of agency. (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). In rural Tanzania, lack of communication among couples about family planning was previously identi ed as a barrier to uptake (23,24).…”

BackgroundIn Tanzania, 27.1% of all women of reproductive age are currently using modern contraception, and 16.8% have an unmet need for family planning. We therefore examined factors associated with family planning uptake after giving birth in two regions of Tanzania.MethodsSub-analysis of a cross-sectional household survey conducted in April 2016 in Mara and Kagera regions in Tanzania. A total of 1184 women aged 15-49 years, who had given birth less than two years prior to the survey were included. Logistic regression mixed effect modelling was used to examine factors associated with family planning uptake. Univariate analysis was used to present crude effects of covariates, followed by stepwise forward selection to build a multiple logistic regression model. A p-value ≥ 0.20 was applied as the criterion to retain a variable into the model.ResultsAmong 1184 women within two years after giving birth, 393 (33.2%) used family planning methods. After adjusting for (1) age, (2) level of education, (3) living in union, (4) being accompanied to ANC by a partner and (5) being able to mention at least one method, factors independently associated with family planning uptake included: (1) having discussed family planning with the partner (aOR 2.90; 95% CI 1.88-4.49), (2) having been counselled on family planning during ANC (aOR 2.15; 95% CI 1.48-3.13), (3) having discussed family planning with a community health worker (aOR 3.32; 95% CI 1.91-5.77), (4) having discussed family planning with a facility health care worker (aOR 1.79; 95% CI 1.22-2.62), (5) having primary or higher educational level (aOR 1.66; 95% CI 1.01-2.273) and (6) being in union (aOR 1.86; 95% CI 1.02-3.42).ConclusionSupportive constitutes including educational interaction with facility and community health workers, as well as having a supportive partner are facilitators to increased uptake of family planning among women in Tanzania
