It was found that Contraceptive use was affected by contextual factors along with individual and fertility related factors. Visits by a family planning worker (FPW) within the previous six months had the biggest impact on contraceptive use. Education level (adjusted and number of children who are alive were also positively associated with contraceptive use.
