The objective of this study is to analyse the socio-demographic and
economic characteristics associated with the
current use of a modern contraceptive method by women in Kita, Mali.
This research is of interest because it will determine the nature of individual
and economic determinants associated with current use of modern contraception.
The methodology was based on a literature search and a quantitative survey and
analytical study (bivariate analysis). The questionnaire was administered to a
random sample of 281 women aged 15 - 49 years who had had at least one child.
The bivariate logistic regression analysis
revealed socio-demographic and economic characteristics associated with current use of a modern contraceptive
method. The study found that 19.6% of women of reproductive age [WRA]
were using a contraceptive method at the
time of the survey. The characteristics associated with this practice are: age, number of living children, level of knowledge
of modern contraceptives, the woman’s attitude
towards contraception, the identity of the person who decides on all care in the household, and the level of
education. In contrast, marital status and access to family planning
information are not statistically
significantly associated with current contraceptive use by [WRA]. Consideration of these relevant characteristics will
improve the effectiveness of ongoing family planning programmes in this city.
