Abstract
Method mix refers to the distribution of contraceptive use among the
sexually active population. The subject of contraceptive method mix has become of
specific importance because it provides perspectives on both the demand and
supply side determinants of contraceptive prevalence. This paper proposes to
conduct extensive analysis of trends in contraceptive use and method mix
dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa. The study examines how contraceptive method
mix dynamics have changed over time, assesses trends by marital status, and
investigates determinants of method choice and their changes over time.
Preliminary findings and their implications are discussed.
