Unmet Need For Contraception

Background: Providing universal family planning services is an important strategy to reduce maternal morbidity and to control population growth. Worldwide, when contraception is used properly and effectively to avoid unwanted pregnancy it can reduce 25–35% of maternal deaths. The present study aimed at measuring the proportion of married women with unmet need for family planning in an urban area of Puducherry.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 235 married women in the urban field practice area of Sri Venkateshwara Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Puducherry. Participants were selected based on predetermined eligibility criteria using systematic random sampling method. SPSS version 23.0 was used for statistical analysis. Proportion, Mean, Standard deviation and Logistic regression were applied to interpret the results.Results: Mean age of the participants was 33.3 ±6 years, Nearly 77 %( 181) of the participants reported having used any method of contraceptive at least once and 34.5 %( 81) were found to have unmet need for family planning. The most common reason for unmet need for contraception was fear of side effects (39.5%) and others were infrequent sex (12.3%),insisted by family members (12.3%) and religious reasons (12.3%).Conclusions: Unmet need for family planning was found to be fairly high in our study population. Health care personnel, preferably field staff should be trained to give an informed choice of contraception to the eligible couples to reduce the unmet need for contraception.

Unmet Need For Contraception

Background: The concept of unmet need for family planning points to the gap between some women’s reproductive intentions and their contraceptive behaviour.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 19 to March 20 in rural Jhansi. 520 married women (15-49 years) were interviewed by house to house survey.Results: Out of 520 participants 124 (23.8%) had unmet need, out of them 73 (14.03%) had unmet need for spacing births and 41 (9.8%) of the participants had unmet need for limiting births.Conclusions: The unmet need for contraceptives was 23.8% in the study which is much higher compared to NFHS-4 data for urban UP (19.6%), and it has to be taken in to consideration by policy makers.

Unmet Need For Contraception

Eritrea’s contraceptive prevalence rate is one of the lowest in sub-Saharan Africa and its fertility has only started to decline. Using data from the 2002 Eritrea Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS), this study examines the determinants of unmet need for family planning that is the discrepancy between fertility goals and actual contraceptive use. More than one-quarter of currently married women are estimated to have an unmet need, and this has remained unchanged since 1995. The most important reason for unmet need is lack of knowledge of methods or of a source of supply. Currently married women with higher parity, and low autonomy, low or medium household economic status, and who know no method of contraception or source of supply are identified as the most likely to have an unmet need. Addressing the unmet need for family planning entails not merely greater knowledge of or access to contraceptive services, but also the enhancement of the status of women.

Unmet Need For Contraception

Abstract Background:The high unmet need for contraception among women who wants to delay their subsequent births for two or more years is a challenging issue in India. Therefore, the present study aims to display spatial heterogeneity and determine the associated factors underlying the unmet need for contraception among the currently married women aged 15-49 years with a demand for spacing births in India.Methods:The present study used data from the National Family and Health Survey, 2015-16. Unmet need for spacing (UNS) used as outcomes and socio-cultural and demographic factors as explanatory variables. Among the comprehensive family planning, 16.7% (56742 women) of currently married women had demand for spacing births were used for analysis. Univariate, bivariate with chi-square significance test, spatial natural break technique, and multivariate logistic regression were used to accomplish the study objectives. Results:Almost 17% of women had demand spacing out of total demand for family planning in India. High unmet need for contraception found among them except the women with higher-level education and wealth status. District level spatial heterogeneity of UNS shows 119 districts had very high unmet for spacing (69% and above). Results from multivariate logistic regression show that UNS's likelihood was noticeably high among the women with parity three or more (AOR: 1.42 [1.3-1.55]) compared to their counterparts. Similarly, 44% (AOR: 1.44[1.38-1.51]) more likely found among the OBC than General caste. Rural (AOR: 1.24[1.19-1.30]) women compared to urban, women living in South (AOR: 6.19 [5.76-6.65]), Central (AOR: 1.52 [1.43-1.61]), and West (AOR: 1.80 [1.68-1.92]) region compared to those from North had higher odds of UNS. Conclusion:Deal with the UNS in India requires scaling up women education, client choice-based services, campaign on benefits of spacing births and available contraception, and socio-economically backward group centric policies.
