In Guinea, high fertility among adolescents and young women in urban areas remains a public health concern. This study describes trends in contraceptive use, unmet need, and factors associated with the use of modern family planning (FP) methods among urban adolescents and young women in Guinea.
We used four Guinea Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted in 1999, 2005, 2012, and 2018. Among urban adolescents and young women (15-24 years), we examined trends over time in three key indicators: 1. Modern Contraceptive use, 2. Unmet need for FP and 3. Modern contraceptive use among those in need of FP (demand satisfied). We used multivariable logistic regression to examine association between socio-demographic factors and modern FP use on the most recent DHS dataset (2018).
We found statistically significant changes over the time period examined with an increase in modern contraceptive use (8.4% in 1999, 12.8% in 2018, p < 0.01) and demand satisfied (29.0% in 1999, 54.1% in 2018, p < 0.001), and a decrease in unmet need for FP (15.8% in 1999, 8.6% in 2018, p < 0.001). Factors significantly associated with modern FP use were; young women aged 20-24 years (AOR 2.8, 95% CI: 1.9-4.1), living in urban areas of Faranah (AOR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.1-6.5) and Kankan (AOR: 3.6, 95% CI: 1.7-7.8), living in households in the middle (AOR: 7.7, 95% CI: 1.4-42.2) and richer wealth quintiles (AOR: 6.3, 95% CI: 1.0-38.1). Ever-married women (AOR: 0.5, 95% CI: 0.3-0.9) were less likely to use modern FP methods than never married as were those from the Peulh (0.3, 95% CI: 0.2-0.4) and Malinke (0.5, 95% CI: 0.3-0.8) ethnic groups compared to Soussou ethnic group.
Despite some progress, efforts are still needed to improve FP method use among urban adolescent and young women. Age, administrative region, wealth index, marital status, and ethnic group are significantly associated with modern FP use. Future policies and interventions should place emphasis on improving adolescents' reproductive health knowledge, increasing FP availability and strengthening provision. Efforts should target adolescents aged 15-19 years in particular, and address disparities between administrative regions and ethnic groups, and health-related inequalities.
在几内亚,城市地区青少年和年轻女性的高生育率仍然是一个公共卫生关注点。本研究描述了几内亚城市青少年和年轻女性中避孕措施使用、未满足的需求以及与现代计划生育(FP)方法使用相关的因素的趋势。
我们使用了 1999 年、2005 年、2012 年和 2018 年进行的四次几内亚人口与健康调查(DHS)的数据。在城市青少年和年轻女性(15-24 岁)中,我们考察了三个关键指标随时间的变化趋势:1. 现代避孕措施使用,2. FP 未满足的需求,3. 需要 FP 的人中现代避孕措施的使用(需求得到满足)。我们使用多变量逻辑回归分析来检查 2018 年最新 DHS 数据集(2018 年)中社会人口因素与现代 FP 使用之间的关联。
我们发现,随着时间的推移,现代避孕措施使用(1999 年为 8.4%,2018 年为 12.8%,p<0.01)和需求满足(1999 年为 29.0%,2018 年为 54.1%,p<0.001)的增加以及 FP 未满足的需求的减少(1999 年为 15.8%,2018 年为 8.6%,p<0.001),出现了统计学上显著的变化。与现代 FP 使用显著相关的因素包括:20-24 岁的年轻女性(AOR 2.8,95%CI:1.9-4.1)、居住在法纳纳(AOR:2.6,95%CI:1.1-6.5)和卡坎(AOR:3.6,95%CI:1.7-7.8)城市地区的年轻女性、居住在中等(AOR:7.7,95%CI:1.4-42.2)和较富裕的财富五分位数(AOR:6.3,95%CI:1.0-38.1)家庭中的年轻女性。已婚妇女(AOR:0.5,95%CI:0.3-0.9)比未婚妇女更不可能使用现代 FP 方法,而来自 Peulh(0.3,95%CI:0.2-0.4)和 Malinke(0.5,95%CI:0.3-0.8)族裔群体的妇女也比 Soussou 族裔群体更不可能使用现代 FP 方法。
尽管取得了一些进展,但仍需努力提高城市青少年和年轻女性的 FP 方法使用率。年龄、行政区域、财富指数、婚姻状况和族裔群体与现代 FP 使用显著相关。未来的政策和干预措施应重点关注改善青少年的生殖健康知识、增加 FP 的可及性和加强提供。应特别关注 15-19 岁的青少年,并解决行政区域和族裔群体之间以及与健康相关的不平等之间的差异。
