Overview

Spatial analysis reveals regional disparities in condom use among women aged 15–49 in Rwanda, suggesting need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Regional disparities in condom use highlight significant differences based on geographical factors.
  • The study found a 10.8% prevalence of condom use during the last sexual intercourse among the population.
  • Using a geo-additive model, the analysis assessed spatial variations in condom usage across different districts.
  • Condom use promotion strategies must address cultural and educational barriers, particularly in low-usage regions.
