Determinants of Use of Contraceptive Methods Among Sexually Active Married Men in Nigeria
Using a cross-sectional research design, the men’s dataset of the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) and a weighted sample size of 7,991 sexually active married men (15–59 years) were used to examine determinants of the use of contraceptive methods. Data were analyzed using frequency tables, proportions, Pearson’s chi-square, and multinomial logistic regression. The relative risk of using male-controlled contraception relative to n…
Household Vulnerability and Childhood Immunization Status in Nigeria
Immunization is considered one of the most cost-effective public health interventions for reducing childhood morbidity, mortality, and disability globally. However, while global achievement of over 70% coverage rates was sustained in 1990s, wide variations exist between and within countries. In some developing countries, immunization rates increased substantially, but in sub-Saharan Africa, immunization rates plummeted, leaving millions of childr…
To what extent is antenatal care in public health facilities associated with delivery in public health facilities? Findings from a cross-section of women who had facility deliveries in Nigeria
To a significant extent, antenatal care in public health facilities is associated with deliveries in public health facilities in Nigeria. It is imperative for governments in the country to take more steps to ensure the expanded availability of public health facilities in all parts of the country since their use for antenatal care is well-associated with their use for delivery care
What Are the Individual, Household, and Community Factors Associated With Optimal Breastfeeding Practices in Three Selected West African Countries
Optimal breastfeeding is rarely practiced among mothers across the three studied countries: Guinea, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. The methodological approach used in this study is the first of its kind in the study area. It provides answers to the statistical association between individual, household, and community factors and optimal breastfeeding practices. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design. It employed secondary data. The study …
Descriptive analysis of men’s sexual behaviour in sub-Saharan Africa
The interconnection between men’s sexual behaviour as a contributor to burden of reproductive and sexual health diseases in sub-Saharan Africa are often presented with complex and sophisticated statistical analyses with little or no comprehension among the affected population that are mostly with little or no statistical literacy and education. The study adopted simplicity-parsimony idea as amalgam of simplicity and parsimony theories in analysin…
Do the prevalence and correlates of adverse reproductive health outcomes differ by marriage cohorts? Evidence from a study of two marriage cohorts in Nigeria
The researchers examined the prevalence and correlates of adverse reproductive health outcomes among two cohorts of married women in Nigeria based on the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. A weighted sample size of 8,704 and 6,076 women were analyzed respectively for the child and delayed marriage cohorts. Our results showed differences in adverse reproductive health outcomes by marriage cohorts with higher prevalence in the child marria…
To what extent do community characteristics drive health facility delivery? Findings among Women who had recent live births in Nigeria
Existing studies have established several individual drivers of health facility delivery in many developing countries. However, the community characteristics that drive health facility delivery have been less studied across developing countries. This study thus examines the extent to which community characteristics drives health facility delivery among women who had recent live births in Nigeria based on data from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and…
Does exposure to interparental violence increase women’s risk of intimate partner violence? Evidence from Nigeria demographic and health survey
BACKGROUND: Exposure to interparental violence (EIPV) has been identified as a risk factor for intimate partner violence (IPV). However, studies in Nigeria have rarely and specifically examined exposure to interparental violence as a predictor of IPV. The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between exposure to interparental violence and women's experience of intimate partner violence. METHODS: The 2013 Nigeria Demographic and H…
Factors associated with use of maternal healthcare services during the Boko Haram insurgency in North-East Nigeria
Studies have focused on both individual and community factors affecting the use of maternal healthcare services. However, studies in Nigeria have rarely examined whether the influence of individual and community factors in explaining the use of maternal healthcare has changed in the context of the Boko Haram insurgency in North-East Nigeria. This study investigates factors associated with the use of maternal healthcare services during the Boko Ha…
Maternal grand multiparity and intention to use modern contraceptives in Nigeria
Maternal grand multiparity is significantly associated with intention to use contraceptives among women in Nigeria. The development of a specific population and health programme to target grand multiparous women is imperative in the country. Such programme could be integrated into existing national family planning programme through specific contraceptive education, counselling and information for high parous women
Individual and community factors associated with indications of caesarean delivery in Southern Nigeria
In this study, the researcher examines associated individual and community factors of indications of caesarean delivery in Southern Nigeria. Data were pooled from 2003-2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Surveys. Analyses were performed using Stata 12. The multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression was applied. Indications of caesarean delivery were 4.9% over the studied period. Maternal age, parity, education, and household wealth were signifi…
Advanced reproductive age and childbearing choices in Nigeria
This study examined the relationship between advanced reproductive age and childbearing choices measured by ideal family size, contraceptive use, and unmet need for contraception. Data were extracted from the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The multinomial logistic regression was applied. Results showed that a majority of the women had large ideal family sizes; were not using any method of contraception; and nearly one-fifth of the wo…
Marriage Age, Fertility Behavior, and Women's Empowerment in Nigeria
This study examines the relationship between age at first marriage and women's fertility behavior and empowerment. Data were extracted from the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey. The Poisson regression and multinomial logistic regression were applied using Stata version 12. Results show that the incident rate of children ever born for women aged 15 to 19 years is less than the incident rate of children ever born for women aged 14 years o…
