“…This result is similar to a study carried out in Costa Rica showing that residents of urban areas were less likely to use MCM than those in rural areas [ 42 ]. However, most studies show a different pattern, with urban areas having a higher prevalence of CM use [ 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. Explanations about these findings are scarce in the literature, and although the urban–rural differences in the frequency of MCM use are not comprehensive in Ecuador, it is necessary to deepen research on the topic in order to have a better understanding of this pattern, which seems contrary to the majority of countries.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the socioeconomic inequalities and factors associated with the use of modern contraceptive methods (MCM) in the population of sexually active women of childbearing age in Ecuador. This was an analytical observational study, based on a secondary data analysis of the 2018 National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT). Information on 19,106 sexually active, married, or cohabiting women between the ages of 15 and 49 were included. Concentration curves (CC) and Erreygers concentration indices (ECI) were calculated, taking into account the use of MCM as the dependent variable and the wealth index as the independent variable. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using generalized linear models of the Poisson family. We found that 92.8% of the women surveyed used some type of MCM in the last month. A higher educational level presented a significant pro-rich concentration in the use of MCM (EIC: 0.05; p = 0.004). On the other hand, women belonging to the age group of 20 to 29 years (ECI: −0.027; p = 0.027), women with no job (ECI: −0.025; p = 0.004), and non-indigenous women (EIC: −0.031; p < 0.001), presented a pro-poor concentration. Factors significantly associated with MCM use were age, marital status, occupation, parity, ethnicity, area of residence, and living on the coast. In Ecuador, there are socioeconomic inequalities at different levels of population subgroups in women of childbearing age. Measures to promote the use of MCM are required, focusing on groups that present inequality, taking into account the factors associated with their use.

Objective This study aimed to evaluate how ethnicity generated inequalities in contraceptive method use among Peruvian women. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study using 2019–2023 data from Peru's Demographic and Family Health Survey. Women aged 18–49 were evaluated on contraceptive use and sociodemographic factors. Statistical analysis in R Studio described variables and used propensity score matching to compare ethnic groups' contraceptive use, employing quasibinomial regression for prevalence ratios. Results Among 57277 women aged 18–49, 67.23% used contraception, mainly injections and condoms. Ethnic disparities were noted, with Quechua, Aymara, and Afro-Peruvian women using contraceptives, especially hormonal methods, less than Mestizo women. These inequalities were influenced by first intercourse age, number of children, and decreased use over time. Conclusion Ethnic inequalities in contraceptive use were found, with Quechua, Aymara, and Afro-Peruvian women facing greater disparities than Mestizo or White women, especially if they had first intercourse before 18.
