Abstract |
There appears to be an increasing trend of condom use for pregnancy prevention among nulliparous and multiparous women in developing countries. Drawing from a cross-sectional survey involving 1227 women selected using a 3-stage cluster random sampling technique, the study examines the rates of condom use and its determinants among parous women in three states in North Central and South Western Nigeria. The rate of condom use among parous women was 13.8% and 23.2% among women using any form of contraceptives. After adjusting for confounding factors (religion and marital status, socioeconomic status and access to a health facility in the resident community), women aged 26-35 (AOR 2.7; CI 1.6-4.5), urban residence (AOR: 3.6; CI 2.2-5.8), no income (AOR: 2.7; CI 1.4-4.9), living in Ekiti State (AOR: 1.8; CI 1.2-2.8) and having a tertiary level of education (AOR: 4.5; CI 1.3-15.6) were the independent predictors of condom use. There is an increasing trend of condom use among parous women. |
