Geographic variation in modern contraceptive utilization among women of reproductive age in Mozambique: a multilevel analysis

Modern contraceptive use in Mozambique remains low, with regional disparities. Key factors influencing use include age, education, wealth, and healthcare access. Older, educated, and wealthier women are more likely to use contraception. Media exposure and proximity to healthcare facilities also play a role. Regional differences persist, with lower usage in provinces like Cabo Delgado and higher usage in urban areas like Maputo and Gaza. Targeted interventions are necessary to address these disparities.
