Abstract

Although extant literature has documented low contraceptive use among Nigerian women and discussed potential factors contributing to these low rates ("World Population Sheet 2020"), the difference between contraceptive use and intention has not been adequately explored. Much of the focus in research and family planning programs and interventions has been placed on teenagers, leading to lack of understanding regarding the experience of older women (OlaOlorun 2013).
