Inequalities in contraceptive prevalence among married women of reproductive age in Sierra Leone, 2008–2019

The prevalence of contraceptive use among reproductive-aged married women in Sierra Leone has notably increased over the past decade, accompanied by notable reductions in inequalities across age, economic status, education, place of residence, and geographic provinces. While inequalities persist, the narrowing gaps underscore progress in improving equitable access to contraceptive services. These findings underscore the importance of sustained efforts to address remaining inequalities and further enhance access to family planning resources for all women, particularly those in underserved populations.
