Abstract
Objective: To examine association between social economic attributes (often reported at macro-level) and contraceptive use
Methods: Data were accrued from the Ugandan baseline survey of a multi-country three-year prospective study focusing on the role of family planning on Family Health and Wealth. A total of 500 couples were enrolled in Kyengera-parish, Wakiso district, Uganda.
Inequalities defined as differences in population attributes (wealth, ethnicity, health status-BMI category, parity, education and occupation) were assessed for association with contraceptive use (Yes/No). Analysis used descriptive statistics and at bivariate and multivariate, generalized linear models using binomial family and a log link with robust standard errors to obtain Prevalence Risk Ratios (PRRs) and their 95% CI.
Results: Data of 499 couples are presented. Men were older than women, 34 (7.9) and 27 (6.5) years, respectively. Majority (70%) of women reported being in monogamous unions, of parity 2 or higher (70%), education level of secondary or higher (67%), involved in manual or clerical work (71%) and belonging to Christian-faith (66%). Contraceptive prevalence rate was 52%, and was significantly higher among parity of 2 or higher. Health status, household wealth and education level were not associated with contraceptive use
