Do users of long-acting reversible contraceptives receive the same counseling content as other modern method users? A cross-sectional, multi-country analysis of women's experiences with the Method Information Index in six sub-Saharan African countries

Abstract

Across 6 sub-Saharan African countries, a substantial proportion reproductive-aged women using contraception did not report receiving comprehensive counseling when they received their method. Women using long-acting reversible contraception received more information compared to women using other modern methods in the DRC, Kenya, Nigeria, and Uganda after controlling for individual- and facility-level factors.
