| Abstract: | In Nigeria, high contraceptive knowledge has not been translated to high
contraceptive usage. Hence, the need for more research that will help in designing
necessary intervention programme is important. This study examines power
dynamics and contraceptive use among couples in Nigeria using Nigeria
Demographic and Health Survey couples’ recode dataset for 2003, 2008 and 2013.
Three levels of analysis were used in this study. Binary logistic regression model
was employed in multivariate analysis. Findings revealed that eleven percent of
couples use contraceptives in the 2003 data set, twelve percent in 2008 and fifteen
percent in 2013. |
| Description: | This paper also revealed that couples’ decision making power and
fertility desire have significant influence on contraceptive use in Nigeria (P<0.05).
Couples who desire more than two children are less likely to use contraceptive.
The study concludes that couples’ decision making power and fertility desire are
important factors in contraceptive use in Nigeria. |
