AIM: Contraceptive use and its correlates among young women continue to draw research attention due to its implication for fertility reduction, improved maternal and child health, and sexual and reproductive rights. This study explores the association between pregnancy history and contraceptive use among currently married young women (aged 15-24 years at childbirth) in India.
METHOD: Data from the National Family Health Survey (2019-2021) was analyzed through STATA with a significance level of 5%. The births in the last 5 years preceding the survey to the women aged 15-24 years at childbirth (n = 127 954) were considered for analysis. Multinomial logistic regression was used to check the unadjusted and adjusted effects of the pregnancy history on contraceptive use.
RESULTS: Young women with a history of mistimed pregnancy had significantly lower odds of using modern limiting methods of contraception (odds ratio [OR] = 0.90, confidence interval [CI] = 0.82-0.98), and those with a prior unwanted pregnancy were more likely to use modern limiting methods of contraception (OR = 1.75, CI = 1.57-1.95).
CONCLUSION: Pregnancy history influences young married women's current contraceptive use in India. Family planning programs may use the contacts with antenatal, delivery, and post-delivery care system as an opportunity to identify women with an unwanted pregnancy, especially those educationally and economically weaker, for targeted information and service delivery. Better counseling of potential young contraceptive acceptors will ensure informed decision-making and increased use of modern spacing methods.
