Family Planning Use Among Pregnant Women in Nigeria, 2023 Survey

Nigeria survey data from July to September 2023 assessing contraceptive use patterns, barriers, and motivations among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Jigawa, Oyo, and Lagos states. The dataset includes results from structured questionnaires administered to a multi-stage sample across 32 healthcare facilities, with logistic regression analysis on factors like maternal health literacy.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between maternal health literacy scores and family planning utilization based on reported associations.
• Analyzing regional variations in contraceptive use and unintended pregnancy rates across three Nigerian states.
• Identifying sociodemographic barriers to family planning access mentioned in the study conclusions.

Strengths

• Includes specific, reported statistics such as a 52.7% overall rate of ever using family planning and a mean maternal health literacy score of 34.4.
• Captures data from three distinct sociocultural contexts in Nigeria (Jigawa, Oyo, and Lagos states) across 32 healthcare facilities.
• Analysis includes adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for key factors like number of living children and state of residence.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 18.3 KB file size suggests a very limited data scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw respondent-level data.
