abstract: 'Background: Understanding women''s contraceptive method choices is key
  to

  enhancing family planning services provision and programming. Currently

  however, very little research has addressed inter and intra-regional

  disparities II in women''s contraceptive method choice. Using data from

  slum and non-slum contexts in Nairobi, Kenya, the current study

  investigates the prevalence of and factors associated with contraceptive

  method choice among women.

  Methods: Data were from a cross-sectional quantitative study conducted

  among a random sample of 1,873 women (aged 15-49 years) in two non-slum

  and two slum settlement areas in Nairobi, Kenya. The study locations

  were purposively sampled by virtue of being part of the Nairobi Urban

  Health and Demographic Surveillance System. Bivariate and multivariate

  logistic regression were used to explore the association between the

  outcome variable, contraceptive method choice, and explanatory

  variables.

  Results: The prevalence of contraceptive method choice was relatively

  similar across slum and non-slum settlements. 34.3 \% of women in slum

  communities and 28.1 \% of women in non-slum communities reported using

  short-term methods. Slightly more women living in the non-slum

  settlements repotted use of long-term methods, 9.2 \%, compared to 3.6

  \% in slum communities. Older women were less likely to use short-term

  methods than their younger counterparts but more likely to use long-term

  methods. Currently married women were more likely than never married

  women to use short-term and long-term methods. Compared to those with no

  children, women with three or more children were more likely to report

  using long term methods. Women working outside the home or those in

  formal employment also used modern methods of contraception more than

  those in self-employment or unemployed.

  Conclusion: Use of short-term and long-term methods is generally low

  among women living in slum and non-slum contexts in Nairobi. Investments

  in increasing women''s access to various contraceptive options are

  urgently needed to help increase contraceptive prevalence rate. Thus,

  interventions that focus on more disadvantaged segments of the

  population will accelerate contraceptive uptake and improve maternal and

  child health in Kenya.'
