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.'
