Abstract
Background Family Planning Counselling (FPC) involves information exchange on contraceptive methods between a provider and client and providing appropriate support in choosing a method that best suits the client’s needs. Access to sexual and reproductive health information enables women to make informed health decisions. However, the low modern contraceptive prevalence among women in northern Nigeria may be attributed to poor FPC and exposure to FP messages, among other factors. This study examines the impact of quality FPC and exposure to FP messages on modern contraceptive use.
