Abstract

Background: This study examined contraceptive use patterns and method selection among women of reproductive age in Nigeria, with a particular focus on the extent to which demographic and socio - economic characteristics influenced contraceptive use practice. The Logistic models shows that women who know at least one method are more likely to use any contraceptive method than their non-method-knowing counterparts. Moreover, those women with more children ever born are more likely than their counterparts with fewer children ever born to use modern contraceptive methods. The probable reason for this may be that women with fewer children may still want more children and have the fear of side effects attributed to modern contraceptives.

Keywords: Logistic Regression; Contraceptive; Odds Ratio; Cox and Snell R-Square
