Item Male involvement and factors influencing choice of contraception among market traders in an urban city in Southwest Nigeria(College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2024) Fakorede, E.O.; Ogunbode, O.O.; Ogunbode, A.M.; Okunlola, M.A.The study assessed the determinants of contraceptive choice and use as well as to examine the perceived impact of male involvement in contraception among market traders. A mixed method cross-sectional study conducted among 489 traders in four Local Government areas in Ibadan, Nigeria, using a structured questionnaire developed by the researchers and in-depth interviews with multi-staged sampling technique. The mean age of participants was 36.1 +8.4 years, with mean parity of 3.8± 1.5. Female traders represented 49.3% (241) while 50.7% (248) were males. Most, two hundred and twenty participants (45.0%) were from Bodija market. Majority (84.1%) were married and consisted mostly of Yoruba (92.4%) ethnic group. Awareness of contraception was high (89.9%) and the most common source was the health facility (366; 74.9%), however, only 41.1% were using modern contraception. Ease of use was the primary determining factor (48.2%) while partner's refusal (28.1%) was the major reason against use of contraception. Among the female participants, 119 (49.4%) stated that their partner had stopped them from using contraceptives in the past and 124(51.1%) reported positive male involvement and support for contraceptive use. There was high level of awareness of contraception, yet uptake and utilization are low. Also, men play a significant role in determining choice so there is need for health education on family planning targeted towards men.Item Knowledge of emergency contraception and predictors of its use among female undergraduates in two Nigerian universities.(Association of Resident Doctors (ARD), University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria., 2022) Ogunbode, O.O.; Takpe, R.; Adeniyi, A.; Ogunbode, A. M.; Agboola, A.Background: Unintended pregnancies contribute to the high burden of unsafe abortion, maternal deaths and morbidities among undergraduates. Objective: To assess the determinants of good knowledge and evaluate the trends in the practice of Emergency Contraception (EC) among female undergraduates. Method: This was a cross sectional study involving four hundred and twenty female undergraduates from two universities in Ibadan, Nigeria. Participants were recruited from their hostels and classrooms. Data collection was done using self-administered questionnaires and good knowledge was defined as three correct answers to five questions testing knowledge. The questionnaires also addressed their practices of EC. The data was stored on the computer, cleaned and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Results: Two hundred and fourteen (51.0%) participants were aware of EC and the common sources were friends (43.4%), media (42.9%) and pharmacies (42.0%). One hundred and sixty-four participants (39.1%) had good knowledge of EC. Participants in the age group 20-24 years, second year of study, those who were aware of EC and had ever used EC were associated with good knowledge. Less than half (48%) of the sexually active participants used EC in the past six months and Levonogestrel (51%) was the commonest EC used. Menstrual irregularity and abdominal pain were the major side effects of EC. Conclusion: The practice of EC is poor and with poor knowledge demonstrated among female undergraduates. There is therefore the need to improve information and access to EC in the university community.
