dc.description.abstractThis study sought to identify the socio-demographic, reproductive, partner-related and facility-level characteristics which are associated with immediate and subsequent uptake of post-abortion contraception. The study used the 2017 Ghana Maternal Health Survey (GMHS) data which comprised 1,383 women who had an abortion within the five years preceding the survey. Binary logistic regression analyses were performed to examine associations between the predictor variables and outcome variables, both immediate and subsequent contraceptive use. The findings indicate that age, type of place of residence, and health provider’s pre- or post-abortion family planning counselling were significantly associated with both immediate and subsequent use of modern contraception. Compared to women had induced abortion service provision from health professionals, women who had their abortion from non-health professionals were twice as likely to use contraception immediately post-abortion. Among subsequent contraception users, the predictors included marital status, contraceptive use at index pregnancy, and place where abortion was performed. Partner-related characteristics were not significantly associated with both immediate and subsequent contraceptive use. The study findings are relevant and informative for designing target interventions to facilitate contraception use among young post-abortion women. Expanding access to and availability of post-abortion family planning counselling and services, in addition to the availability of a variety of modern contraceptives, is key to increasing the contraceptive prevalence rate among post-abortion womenen_US
