“…This may be attributed to several reasons, such as fear of potential side effects hindering their ability to work effectively, cultural beliefs or perceptions favouring permanent and traditional methods, and challenges to accessing and adherence to temporal methods [ 30 ]. This finding coincides with a study conducted in India by McDougal et al which revealed that some women in the working class utilize traditional and permanent methods more than temporary methods [ 31 ]. One sub-Saharan African study offered a plausible explanation by asserting that women generally opt for specific contraception methods based on their reproductive health circumstances and choose traditional methods when they want to use less effective forms of contraception [ 29 ].…”

Background The relationship between composition of children and contraception use has received limited scholarly attention in sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we examined the relationship between contraceptive methods, the number and composition of children in SSA. Methods Data on 21 countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries that had a Demographic and Health Survey on or before 2015 were analysed. We applied a multilevel multinomial logistic regression model to assess the influence of family composition on contraceptive use. Adjusted relative risk ratio (aRRR) and 95% CI were estimated. The significant level was set at p < 0.05. All the analyses were conducted using weighted data. Results Women who had one son and two daughters (aRRR = 0.85, CI = 0.75, 0.95), two sons and one daughter (aRRR = 0.81 CI = 0.72, 0.92), one son and three daughters (aRRR = 0.66, CI = 0.54, 0.80), two sons and two daughters (aRRR = 0.59, CI = 0.50, 0.69), and three or more sons (aRRR = 0.75, CI = 0.63, 0.91) were less likely to use temporary modern contraceptive methods. Those with two sons and two daughters were less likely to use traditional methods (aRRR = 0.52, CI = 0.35, 0.78). Women in the older age group (35–49 years) were less likely to use temporary modern methods (aRRR = 0.60; 95%CI; 0.57, 0.63). However, this group of women were more likely to use permanent (sterilization) (aRRR = 1.71; 95%CI; 1.50, 1.91) and traditional methods (aRRR = 1.28; 95%CI; 1.14, 1.43). Conclusion These findings suggest that contraception needs of women vary based on the composition of their children, hence a common approach or intervention will not fit. As a result, contraception interventions ought to be streamlined to meet the needs of different categories of women. The findings can inform policymakers and public health professionals in developing effective strategies to improve contraceptive use in SSA.

Indonesia Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) 230 per 100,000 live births is considered one of the highest in Southeast Asia region. Contraception is an essential part of safe motherhood, yet most Indonesian doesn’t participate in family planning. Active use of contraception on fertile couples was 62.5%. Based on Indonesia 2017 DHS, 11% fertile women had insufficient contraception need. Unmet need for contraception might contribute to the burden of MMR. A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyse which factors contribute to the occurrence of unmet need for contraception in respect of urban and rural area. Data obtained from 2017 IDHS in two locations: Jakarta and Papua. A total 1,128 Jakarta and 458 Papua respondent were enrolled. Highest occurrence of unmet need occurred in high school education group. Television use was the only factor gave a significant impact (p = 0.019) for the occurrence of unmet need for contraception in Jakarta. Husband’s education level (p = 0.000), newspaper use (p = 0.017), radio use (p = 0.027), television ownership (p = 0.005), television use (p = 0.005), and cell-phone ownership (p = 0.000) have a significant impact for the occurrence of unmet need in Papua. Further analyses showed that television use in Jakarta and cell-phone ownership in Papua were indeed the most influential factor for unmet need.

The coverage of the use of modern contraception in Sleman exceeded Indonesia’s achievements in 2017-2019. It’s vital to research sociodemographic factors that influence the use of modern contraception in Sleman as an example for other areas. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between sociodemographic factors with the recent contraception use. This study is an observational descriptive model using secondary data from HDSS Sleman. Bivariable analysis was carried out using the chi-square test and followed by multivariable analysis using logistic regression. The result showed that the proportion of modern contraceptive use is 54.1%. Sociodemographic factors that significantly related to the use of modern contraception were the husband’s education and the number of children. Husbands with a high level of education (AOR = 0.56; 95% CI: 0.34-0.90) had a 44% lower chance of using modern contraception than husbands with low levels of education. Couples with ≥2 children (AOR = 4.29; 95% CI: 3.41-5.39) were 4.29 times more likely to use modern contraception than couples with 0-1 children. The conclusion is sociodemographic factors significantly related to the use of modern contraceptive methods are the husband’s education and the number of children.
