Postpartum Family Planning Use and Intention Survey in Agrarian and Pastoral Ethiopia

A community-based survey of 3,097 women in Ethiopia assesses current use and future intention for postpartum family planning. Data were collected via a structured web-based tool across ten selected Woredas in agrarian and pastoral contexts. The analysis, conducted by Agumasie Semahegn, identifies factors influencing contraceptive use using multi-level mixed-effect logistic regression.

Use Cases

• Analyzing disparities in postpartum family planning uptake based on agrarian versus pastoral community context.
• Modeling factors associated with contraceptive intention based on antenatal care visits and social support.
• Investigating the influence of women's autonomy and gender norms on family planning use.

Strengths

• Dataset contains survey responses from 3,097 women, providing a substantial sample size.
• Analysis includes specific prevalence rates (e.g., 25.3% overall PPFP use) and adjusted odds ratios for key factors.
• Explicitly compares two distinct socio-economic contexts: agrarian and pastoral communities in Ethiopia.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-04-27).
