Family Planning Patterns Among Pregnant Women in Nigeria

Ayodamola Bakare's dataset contains survey data from a cross-sectional study of 32 healthcare facilities in Jigawa, Oyo, and Lagos States, Nigeria, collected from July to September 2023. It likely contains records on maternal health literacy scores, family planning awareness and utilization, pregnancy intention, and sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women attending antenatal care. The data was used to analyze regional differences in contraceptive use and the association between health literacy and family planning uptake.

Use Cases

• Analyzing regional disparities in contraceptive use based on state of residence.
• Modeling the relationship between maternal health literacy scores and family planning utilization.
• Assessing the prevalence of unintended pregnancy among a sample of pregnant women.
• Investigating sociodemographic factors, such as number of living children, associated with family planning use.

Strengths

• Data captures sociocultural variation across three distinct Nigerian states (Jigawa, Oyo, Lagos).
• Study design involved a multi-stage sampling approach across 32 healthcare facilities.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• Column names and exact row count are not provided, limiting understanding of the data structure.
• The dataset appears as multiple file uploads with slightly different sizes, suggesting potential versioning or format differences that are not explained.
