“…As increased in the number of known modern contraceptive methods, modern contraceptive utilization also increased. The same finding can be seen in the Senegal study [ 38 ], Ethiopia study [ 39 ], and Nigeria study [ 40 ]. It might be due to youth with high knowledge of contraception having a better choice of modern contraception and more likely to have a positive attitude towards using modern contraception [ 37 ].…”

Reproductive health service is crucial for youth to reduce maternal and child mortality. However, many young women face unintended pregnancies and pregnancy-related complications due to insufficient knowledge of contraceptive methods and low contraceptive utilization. This study aims to assess the modern contraceptive prevalence rates among youth and identify factors influencing modern contraceptive utilization among youth. We used Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey (2015–2016) data. This study included 1,423 men and 3,677 women aged 15–24 years from all states and regions of Myanmar. We used multivariable binary logistic regression analysis and reported the results using adjusted Odds Ratios (AOR) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Data analysis was done by STATA software (version 15.1). Ever-married youth used mainly injectable contraception, followed by oral contraceptive pills. Never-married male youth mainly used oral contraceptive pills; however, almost all never-married female youth did not use contraception. The modern contraceptive prevalence rates were 14.9% among total youth, 10% among males, 16.8% among females, 1.5% among never-married males, 44.7% among ever-married males, and 54% among ever-married female youth. The knowledge on modern contraceptive methods favored the utilization. Sexually active youth utilized more contraception than sexually inactive youth. We also found geographical variation and low utilization among rural youth. The desire for more children was also a significant predictor of contraceptive utilization among married youth. The utilization of modern contraception was low among Myanmar youth. Reproductive health program needs to be emphasized on the youth population especially in the area with low utilization to have equitable access to quality reproductive health services. Moreover, the revitalization of Youth Information Corner and youth-friendly reproductive health education programs should be implemented to increase reproductive health knowledge and prevent unsafe sex, unintended pregnancies, and abortions which might help in reducing maternal and child mortality. We warranted conducting mixed method studies to explore the barriers and challenges of contraceptive utilization and male involvement in the choice of contraception among youth.

“…This rapid decline in OCP may potentially indicate the possible discontinuity of FP workers’ visit, the periodicity of renewal, the susceptibility to stock-outs, and global supply chains disruptions amid COVID-19 pandemic [ 18 ]. Inconsistent with earlier studies, this study found that women who ever used OCP were less likely to use FP compared to women who never used OCP [ 41 ]. This can be because previous users of OCP were more familiar with its detrimental effects.…”

Prevalence and factors associated with family planning during COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh: A cross-sectional study

et al. 2021

Background and objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted health systems worldwide, including in Bangladesh, limiting access to family planning information (FP) and services. Unfortunately, the evidence on the factors linked to such disruption is limited, and no study has addressed the link among Bangladeshis. This study aimed to examine the socioeconomic, demographic, and other critical factors linked to the use of FP in the studied areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods The characteristics of the respondents were assessed using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey and descriptive statistics. The variables that were substantially linked with FP usage were identified using a Chi-square test. In addition, a multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the parameters linked to FP in the study areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results The prevalence of FP use among currently married 15–49 years aged women was 36.03% suggesting a 23% (approximately) decrease compared to before pandemic data. Results also showed that 24.42% of the respondents were using oral contraceptive pills (OCP) which is lower than before pandemic data (61.7%). Multivariate regression analysis provided broader insight into the factors affecting FP use. Results showed that woman’s age, education level of the respondents, working status of the household head, locality, reading a newspaper, FP workers’ advice, currently using OCP, ever used OCP, husbands’ supportive attitude towards OCP use, duration of the marriage, ever pregnant, the number of children and dead child were significantly associated with FP use in the study areas during COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions This study discusses unobserved factors that contributed to a reduction in FP use and identifies impediments to FP use in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 epidemic. This research further adds to our understanding of FP usage by revealing the scope of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on FP use in Bangladesh’s rural and urban areas.

“…Furthermore, the study shows that having adequate knowledge on contraceptive methods motivated the utilization by almost two-folds compared to those who were not. This fact was supported by a study on married women on contraceptive utilization, where the odds of utilization increased by 16-folds [35]. In addition, the ndings are in line with [36] who found that adequate FP knowledge increased the utilization.…”

Background: Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) has the greatest unmet need for family planning use, and young people are reported to under-utilize family planning services compared to other groups of women of the reproductive age in the region. Promoting contraceptive services use among adolescents is vital in achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health services. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess motivators for family planning services utilization among higher learning youth students in Dodoma Tanzania. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 421 randomly selected youths in higher learning institutions in Dodoma. Data were collected through self-administered structured questionnaire adopted from previous studies. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis using SPSS version 25 established association between variables. Statistical significance was declared at 95% confidence interval with α<0.05 and strength of association was reported by Odds Ratio (OR) and Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR). Results: Majority of participants 221 (52.5%) were females, and most of them 320 (76.0%) were aged between 21 to 24 years. In addition, the majority were bachelor degree scholars 257 (61.0%). About 305 participants, which equals to 72.4% reported to have had sexual intercourse in the past 12 month. Those who reported to have ever had sexual intercourse, 50.5% had their first intercourse at the age between 15 to 19 years. Most participants 239 (56.8%) reported to have used contraceptive method in the past 12 months. After adjusting for confounders (participants’ socio-demographic characteristics), the motivators for family planning use among youth students were, living with relatives (AOR = 2.904, p = 0.006), adequate FP knowledge (AOR = 2.230 p = 0.003), positive perception (AOR = 1.772, p = 0.025) and discussing FP matters with sexual partners (AOR = 6.045, p= <0. 001). Conclusion: The study has revealed that prevalence of FP use among higher learning students was relative higher. This was determined by discussing contraceptive matters with sexual partners, living with relatives other than their parents, adequate FP knowledge and positive perception towards FP utilization.
