Abstract :
Background:
Some of the highest infant mortality rates in the world can be attributed to poorly scheduled and closely spaced
pregnancies and births. The danger of death and ill health is higher for the offspring of moms who pass away after giving
birth closely. High fertility rates mean people are not spacing their births which can lead to high mortality rates. When
mortalities are high, people tend to give birth frequently to replace the lost children and this comes with several
complications because, frequent deliveries put the woman at risk of mortality both at younger age and at older age.
Malnutrition of under-five children can also be as result of low birth spacing. It has been discovered that using family
planning services in underdeveloped nations can prevent unplanned births and lower mother and infant mortality. Family
planning use, however, is still uncommon in the majority of poor nations.
General Objectives:
In the Sefwi Akontombra district, this study looked to see what factors affected the use of family planning by women
of reproductive age.
Methodology:
In the Sefwi Akontombra District in the Western North region of Ghana, a descriptive cross-sectional methodology
was utilized to evaluate the characteristics related with family planning uptake among women of Reproductive Age (15-49
years). Data were entered into SPSS version 22.0 and analyzed after 285 study participants were chosen using a multi-
stage sampling procedure in each of the five subdistricts. The investigation made use of the chi-square test, multinomial
logistic regression, and descriptive statistics.
Study Outcome:
This study explored factors affecting family planning uptake and recommendations made to help in improving the
family planning uptake in the district.
