This study explored the relationship between digital literacy skills and utilisation of online reproductive health information among child-bearing women in selected health centres in Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey research design of the correlational type was adopted. A simple random sampling technique was employed to capture 310 child-bearing women in selected health centres in Ogun State. A questionnaire was used for data collection, and data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings show that the major sources of online reproductive health information among child-bearing women surveyed were social media (264, 93.3%), internet sites (253, 89.4%), and the World Health Organisation (228, 80.6%). The level of utilisation of online reproductive health information among child-bearing women surveyed was high (M = 3.04). The level of digital literacy skills of the child-bearing women surveyed was high (M = 2.92). There was a significant but negative relationship between digital literacy skills and utilisation of online reproductive health information among child-bearing women surveyed (r = −.152; p < .05). Health authorities and stakeholders should focus on utilising and optimising social media platforms and reputable organisations like the World Health Organisation (WHO) as key channels for disseminating reproductive health information.
