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.'
