Socio-demographic factors associated with contraceptive use among young women in comparison with older women in Uganda JOHN BOSCO ASIIMWE, PATRICIA NDUGGA*, JOHN MUSHOMI* *School of Statistics and Planning, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda. Abstract Much of the research literature about the use of family planning generalizes contraceptive use among all women, using age as a covariate. In Uganda, a country with divergent trends in modern family planning use among younger and older married women, we hypothesize that factors associated with contraceptive use operate in a fundamentally different way among married women in the two age groups: 15-24 and 25-34. We tested this hypothesis using data from the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) in 2006 and 2011.
