Use of modern contraceptives in Lagos Nigeria during the Covid-19 pandemic
Bibliographic Data
We estimated modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) and examined predictors of modern contraceptives utilization amongst 1,445 sampled reproductive age women in Lagos (Nigeria's epicenter) during the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. Estimated mCPR was 30.8%. Women aged 20-29 years were 50% (95%CI:0.37-0.71) less likely to use modern contraceptives during the pandemic than those 30-39 years. Married and divorced women were about three (95%CI:1.37-5.25) and over three (95%CI:1.32-7.79) times more likely to use modern contraceptives compared to single women. Though mCPR has not reduced, sustained contraceptive needs assessment of sometimes obscure sub-populations is required, especially if outbreaks like COVID-19 become our 'new normal
