The primary outcome of interest was the current use of modern CP among women of the reproductive age (15–49 years). Modern CP use was dichotomised as ‘1’ for a woman currently using any modern CP method, and ‘0’ for those who reported not using modern CPs. Use of modern CP was defined as currently using any of the following CP methods: sterilisation (male or female), intrauterine device (IUD), injectable, implant, pills, condom (male or female), diaphragm and foam/jelly. Our definition of modern CPs was adopted from the Guttmacher Institute.20 This definition has been used to guide data collection and analysis in several similar studies.21–24
