Abstract

Abstract:Nigeria is faced with high fertility, maternal and child mortality, and a rapid population growth rate. The uptake of modern methods of contraception is crucial to reduce the high fertility rate, halt population growth, lessen child mortality, and enhance maternal health. This study assessed partners' socio-economic and demographic asymmetries as barriers to modern contraceptive use among young married women in Nigeria. This study used data for 5,772 young married women aged 15-34 years from the Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey 2018. Frequency distributions and binomial logistic regression were carried out using STATA v12. Findings show that 20.4% of young married women use modern contraceptives. Respondents whose partners desire more children were less likely to use modern contraceptives (AOR= 0.712, CI 0.603-0.840). Also, contraceptive use is less likely when the respondent's partner is more educated than the respondent compared to if both have the same level of education (AOR= 0.721, CI 0.607-0.857). Differences in partners' fertility desires and educational status are associated with the use of modern contraceptives among married women aged 15-34 years in Nigeria.

夫妇不对称和尼日利亚年轻已婚妇女现代避孕药具的使用

摘要:尼日利亚面临着高生育率、高母婴死亡率、高人口增长率的问题。采用现代避孕方法对于降低高生育率、停止人口增长、降低儿童死亡率和加强产妇保健至关重要。本研究评估了伴侣的社会经济和人口不对称是尼日利亚年轻已婚妇女使用现代避孕药具的障碍。这项研究使用了2018年尼日利亚人口与健康调查中5772名15-34岁年轻已婚女性的数据。使用STATA v12进行频率分布和二项逻辑回归。调查结果显示，20.4%的年轻已婚妇女使用现代避孕药具。其伴侣想要更多孩子的受访者不太可能使用现代避孕措施(AOR= 0.712, CI 0.603-0.840)。此外，与受教育程度相同的情况相比，当被调查者的伴侣比被调查者受教育程度更高时，使用避孕措施的可能性更小(AOR= 0.721, CI 0.607-0.857)。在尼日利亚，15-34岁的已婚妇女使用现代避孕药具与伴侣生育意愿和教育状况的差异有关。
