Discontinuation of family planning use among women of reproductive age in Rwanda: analysis from three Rwandan Demographic Health Survey (RDHS) 2010–2020
The trend of FP discontinuation among reproductive-age women in Rwanda has significantly increased from 200 - 11 to 2019-20. Key contributing factors include region, older age, higher parity, poor household status, health facility attendance, history of pregnancy termination, lack of education, being married and fear of side effects. Therefore, interventions should focus on addressing these factors to reduce FP discontinuation rates.
