Need and Use of FPA secondary analysis of the 2008 Nigeria DHS

Nigerian Urban Reproductive Health Initiative

• Goal: In 5 years, increase the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) by 20 percentage points in six selected cities in Nigeria

• Three approaches for increasing CPRa. Increase the proportion of women that want to

delay or limit childbearingb. Convert unmet need to met need for FPc. Reduce method discontinuation

Summary

• These analyses suggest which factors you may consider when seeking to increase contraceptive use among urban women in general.

• Both ideal family size and FP knowledge are important for both need for, and use of, FP

• HH decision-making may affect need for FP but does not appear to effect use.

• These analyses do not support the role of gender preference in FP decisions.

Do distal factors affect the outcomes through the proximate factors?

Summary

• The analyses in this section suggest which factors you may consider when seeking to increase contraceptive use among wealth or cultural groupings.

• To increase need for FP among urban poor or muslim women in the North, focus on decreasing ideal family size

• To increase use of FP, among urban poor or muslim women in the North, focus on increasing knowledge of FP.

• However, many other factors exist that are unmeasured in these data.

• Wealth status and cultural norms do not have a strong effect on duration, once a woman adopts FP.

Does education and exposure moderate the effect of the distal factors on the proximate factors?

Summary

• The analyses in this section suggest that exposure to FP messages can have an effect on FP knowledge and possibly household decision-making.

• Given the importance of fertility preferences in the preceding analyses, it is important to learn whether prior messages sought to decrease ideal family size (and failed) or did not target this factor.
