Abstract

This study explores the sociodemographic factors associated with the use of contraceptives among married or cohabiting reproductive age women in a rural sector of Haiti in 2017, using the information extracted from demographic and health surveys. Minded variables were age, religion of division, education, fertility preference, and wealth index. It carried out a bivariate analysis performing a chi-square test to explore the relationship between selected sociodemographic factors and contraceptive use, and a binary logistic regression model to know the adjusted effects of the covariates. The results recommend efforts for increasing the level of education among the poorest community in rural areas of Haiti: education and information services are especially necessary for adolescents and young people.
