Description
Ayodamola Bakare and co-authors survey pregnant women in Nigeria about contraceptive use, in a 2026 study. Clinics in three states with unlike cultures took part in late 2023. Modern method use in Nigeria sits near twelve percent, far below the world average, and slow progress keeps maternal deaths high. Nurses asked about past use, barriers, and health reading skill.
About half the women had ever used a method once shown pictures, with big state gaps: two thirds in Lagos against a third in Jigawa. Nearly a third of the pregnancies were unplanned. Health literacy ran lowest in Jigawa. The authors tie uptake to literacy and local context.
