Contraceptive use patterns among migrant and host community women in Türkiye: a decade of data from a tertiary family planning center

Background/objectives: Türkiye, the world's largest host of Syrian migrants, provides a unique context for examining reproductive health disparities. This study examines trends in modern contraceptive use among migrant and host community women over a decade. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study with analytical components was conducted using data from 17,226 women (8,632 host community; 8,594 migrant) attending a tertiary family planning clinic in Istanbul between January 2014 and December 2024. Each visit was treated as an independent observation. Binary logistic regression identified predictors of modern contraceptive use. Results: < 0.001). Conclusion: Migrant women demonstrated substantially lower modern contraceptive use. Findings underscore the need for multilingual, culturally sensitive family planning programs targeting migrant populations.
