Informed choice of modern Contraceptive Methods and determinant factors among reproductive age women in Eastern Africa countries: A multilevel analysis of demographic and health survey

This study concluded that only 20.7% reproductive age women using modern contraceptive method were an informed choice in Eastern Africa. The following factors were strongly linked to informed choice: maternal age, attending secondary and higher education, media exposure, and visiting a health facility within a year.

Abstract

This study concluded that only 20.7% reproductive age women using modern contraceptive method were an informed choice in Eastern Africa. The following factors were strongly linked to informed choice: maternal age, attending secondary and higher education, media exposure, and visiting a health facility within a year. Therefore, policies and initiatives targeting informed choice modern contraceptive methods and above critical determinants among reproductive age women in Eastern Africa (ages 15-49) will be designed by the government, ministry of health, and other relevant parties.
