Description
Mwajuma Bakari Mdoe and colleagues measure unintended pregnancy in Tanzania from the 2022 Demographic and Health Survey, in a 2026 analysis. Their sample held 1,182 women chosen through two stage sampling. Weighted regression hunted factors tied to pregnancies women described as unintended.
Prevalence reached about 28 percent, nearly three in ten women. Older women and women who were married, cohabiting, or previously married had markedly lower odds than younger unmarried women. Households with at least six members carried higher odds. Eastern Tanzania and Zanzibar exceeded the western mainland zone. Youth friendly services and help for large households and unmarried women are the authors' prescriptions.
