This study aims to identify factors influencing contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in Nigeria.
Analyzed secondary data from the DHS programme, involving 104,557 women of reproductive age.
Categorized contraceptive use into three groups: non-use, traditional-use, and modern-use.
Used multinomial logistic regression to estimate adjusted relative risk ratios.
79.9% of women were not using contraceptives, 4.7% used traditional methods, and 15.5% used modern methods.
Higher education increased the likelihood of using traditional methods (aRRR: 3.35; 95% CI: 2.93-3.83) and modern methods (aRRR: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.99-2.32).
Rural women showed lower use of modern contraceptives (aRRR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.86-0.94).
