Determinants of unmet need for family planning in rural Burkina Faso: a multilevel logistic regression analysis

摘要

BackgroundUnmet need for family planning has implications for women and their families, such as unsafe abortion, physical abuse, and poor maternal health. Contraceptive knowledge has increased across low-income settings, yet unmet need remains high with little information on the factors explaining it. This study assessed factors associated with unmet need among pregnant women in rural Burkina Faso.
