Factors Associated with Contraceptive Use in Sub-Saharan Africa

Joan Marie Kraft et al.

Summary: The study in the Kigoma Region of Tanzania found that contraceptive use is closely associated with service characteristics (such as proximity to home, availability of methods, and basic amenities) and individual characteristics of women (such as attitudes and beliefs towards FP). Services located within 2 km and offering multiple methods with basic amenities, as well as individual beliefs that contraception benefits the family and is safe and effective, were strongly associated with increased odds of contraceptive use. Coordination between efforts to improve service access and behavior change interventions addressing motivational factors, knowledge, and attitudes is important for improving contraceptive outcomes.

Prevalence and predictors of long-acting reversible contraceptive use among sexually active women in 26 sub-Saharan African countries

Obasanjo Afolabi Bolarinwa et al.

Summary: The prevalence of LARC use in 26 countries in sub-Saharan Africa was relatively low, with sexually active women who have higher education, are cohabiting, and have four or more children more likely to use LARCs. The identified contributory factors of LARC use should be addressed with appropriate interventions such as continuous campaigns on the efficacy of LARCs in reducing unintended pregnancy, maternal mortality, and morbidity.

Adapting High Impact Practices in Family Planning During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences From Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe

Morrisa Malkin et al.

Summary: This article describes how High Impact Practices (HIPs) in family planning were adapted in Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe during the COVID-19 pandemic. The adaptations included mobile outreach, community health workers, and digital health tools. These adaptations successfully addressed challenges such as youth hesitation to visit health facilities and limited access to contraceptives, leading to increased uptake of long-acting reversible methods and virtual delivery of sexual and reproductive health information.

Early contraceptive implants removal and its associated factors among women using implants at a National Referral Hospital, Kampala Uganda

Gerald Ssebatta et al.

Summary: Early discontinuation of contraceptive implants is a major concern, with approximately half of women discontinuing use within 18 months. Factors associated with early removal include experience of side effects, lack of pre-insertion counseling about contraceptive implants benefits and side effects, and residing in rural areas. Intervention is needed to address the high prevalence of early contraceptive removal by improving counseling services on possible side effects.
