OBJECTIVES: The objective of this research was to determine modern contraceptive use (MCU) and explore factors associated with MCU in the Western Balkans.
METHODS: Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) data from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, including the datasets from Roma settlements, were merged. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess which factors were associated with MCU among married women aged 15-49 in the region.
RESULTS: Among the 11,381 women surveyed, 13.75% reported MCU and 23.74% justified domestic violence. While bivariate analysis indicated that women who expressed justification of domestic violence were less likely to report MUC, this was not the case after adjusting for sociodemographic factors. Multivariate analysis showed that Roma were less likely than non-Roma to engage in MCU. Additionally, increased education, increased wealth, and urban residency were significantly associated with increased likelihood of MCU.
CONCLUSION: The results highlight the need for more attention from research, programming and policy communities in order to better understand and address the overall problematically low level of MCU and factors associated with low MCU. More efforts are needed to address the disparities in MCU among Roma women and women of lower socioeconomic status.
