Effect of multiple counselling contacts along the continuum of care on use of postpartum family planning in a cohort of Ethiopian women: a dose-response analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Dose-response analysis of the effect of each additional contact where family planning (FP) was discussed during antenatal, delivery, postnatal or immunisation visits on the uptake of postpartum family planning (PPFP) within 12 months.

Design

A cohort where pregnant women were enrolled and reinterviewed approximately 12 months postpartum. Life table analyses examined differentials in probabilities of adopting contraception over 12 months postpartum by level of exposure to FP counselling. Competing risks regression analysis examined the dose effects in HRs by the number of maternal, newborn or child health (MNCH) contacts where FP was discussed, adjusted for confounding covariates.

Setting

Two Arsi zone woredas: Oromia and Ethiopia.
