This study aims to explore state-level disparities and socio-demographic determinants influencing contraceptive intentions among women not using any contraceptive methods.
Data analyzed from the 2024 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) involving 3,307 non-using women aged 15-49 in South-West Nigeria.
Weighted descriptive statistics and survey-adjusted binary logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate prevalence and identify factors.
Outcome variable was intention to use contraception, categorized as intending or not intending.
32.4% of non-using women reported intention to use contraception; state-level disparity ranged from 15.7% in Ondo to 50.7% in Ekiti.
Women in Ekiti were over twice as likely to intend to use contraception compared to Oyo (AOR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.50–2.93); women in Ondo had lower odds (AOR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.27–0.56).
Higher education and exposure to family planning messages positively associated with intention, while older age groups had lower odds of intending to use contraception.
