“…In contrast to earlier findings, however, highly educated women tend to use traditional contraceptives. These results are similar to those reported by [19], [23], [24], [25], which concluded that high levels of traditional contraceptive use among highly educated women are more closely related to the side effects of modern contraceptives than to effectiveness. It is because more educated women have better knowledge and understanding of the side effects of modern contraceptives.…”

Background: Modern contraceptives are proven as the most effective birth control methods. However, it was a change in the pattern of modern method use in Indonesia to traditional. Objectives: This study investigated the pattern of contraceptive use and its determinant in Indonesia between 2007 and 2017. Methods: The study employed data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) 2007, 2012, and 2017. Eligible participants included all women aged 15–49 who were married/living together with a partner. The dependent variable was contraceptive method use categorized as long-term, short-term, and traditional. Weighted pooled logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the shifting patterns of the independent variables related to contraceptive use over time. Results: The trend of contraceptive use in Indonesia has shifted over the three periods of the IDHS. During the three survey periods, contraceptive use was still dominated by short-term contraception, although over the last five years, the proportion has shown a decline of around 9%. Traditional contraceptive adoption followed the same patterns as long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), although having a smaller prevalence. Education level was significantly unassociated with the use of the traditional method at the beginning of the observation. However, more educated and knowledgeable women about contraceptive methods were more likely to use traditional contraceptives, switched from long-acting use following the next five and ten years. Long-term methods were no longer significantly more common among women in Java and Bali after five and ten years; the likelihood of using traditional methods in Java and Bali was growing. Conclusion: This study showed that contraceptive use and determinants were always dynamic over time. Therefore, family planning strategies and policies should adapt accordingly. Giving an understanding of contraceptive methods' benefits and risks through adequate method information is encouraged to prevent contraceptive dropout or switch to less-effective methods.

“…This corroborates other findings from Ghana, in which contraceptors who were older, urban, more educated, and had fewer children were more likely to choose a traditional instead of modern method, 12 though these patterns do not necessarily hold in other countries. 11 Use of FABMs by relatively advantaged women may reflect distinct preferences for these methods, as identified in other Ghanaian studies 10,13 and elsewhere 8,9 or may reflect that aspects of FABMs may be less accessible to more disadvantaged women (e.g., power differentials negating an ability to negotiate the timing and circumstances of sexual activity with a partner, which women in our sample did not report particular difficulty in doing). Though only borderline statistically significant in our multivariable model, correct knowledge of the approximate fertile time did appear to be higher among likely FABM users, which has been observed previously in Ghana, 48 yet only 50% of FABM users correctly identified the approximate fertile time, indicating substantial room for improvement among individuals relying upon this information to prevent pregnancy.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7] Despite a common assumption that people resort to less effective contraceptive methods due to a lack of access to more effective options, these choices often reflect user preferences. [8][9][10][11][12][13] For example, side effects and health concerns are the most common reasons for nonuse or discontinuation of hormonal contraception among women in low-income countries who do not desire pregnancy, 14,15 whereas methods perceived as "natural" may appeal to people with these concerns. 12 FABMs have received relatively limited attention in the contraceptive literature.…”

Standard approaches underestimate fertility awareness-based method (FABM) use; we posit that at least 18% of contracepting Ghanaian women likely use an FABM.n Economically and educationally advantaged women had higher odds of current FABM use (versus intrauterine device/hormonal method), which may suggest deliberateness of method selection (as opposed to limited access to alternatives).n Most (92%) rhythm users wish to improve the effectiveness of their method, and many are willing to track additional biomarkers, but only 17% ever discussed their method with a health professional.

“…In both African and Asian settings, there may be a general trend for more educated and wealthier urban residents to rely on traditional methods as part of a wider strategy of fertility regulation that can encompass occasional resorts to emergency contraception and safe abortion ( 82 , 83 ). This may be linked to previous experiences of side effects from hormonal methods leading to method dissatisfaction ( 84 ).…”

Health agendas for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) should embrace and afford greater priority to urban family planning to help achieve a number of the global Sustainable Development Goals. The urgency of doing so is heightened by emerging evidence of urban fertility stalls and reversals in some sub-Saharan African contexts as well as the significance of natural increase over migration in driving rapid urban growth. Moreover, there is new evidence from evaluations of large programmatic interventions focused on urban family planning that suggest ways to inform future programmes and policies that are adapted to local contexts. We present the key dimensions and challenges of urban growth in LMICs, offer a critical scoping review of recent research findings on urban family planning and fertility dynamics, and highlight priorities for future research.
