Multivariate analysis shows that 95% of the variance in the CEB is explained by: contraceptive ever use, marital status, conjugal patterns, duration of marriage, duration of contraception, education, breastfeeding, FPP supply side, accessibility of FP services, child loss, demand for children, and QOC in SDPs.
Both types of integration have the potential to improve access to FP services, reduce stigma associated with accessing HIV services and increase patient satisfaction.
The results of the analyses presented here suggest that when it comes to FP services, respondents value confidentiality more than any other service attribute.
Individuals may not use FP services either because (i) they have no demand for FP or (ii) there are barriers to service use or no suitable services are available.
If participants were asked to indicate which service they would like to use if they wanted to use FP services then 'neither' responses could be interpreted either as a choice not to use FP or not to use any service at all.
In order to ensure that the preferences of both FP users and non-users preferences were considered, and to ensure that 'neither' responses were comparable, the choice task was framed as asking participants to imagine that they have already decided to use FP services, and then indicate which of the services presented in the choice task they would use.
As increasing uptake of FP services is a particular concern in this setting it was important to ensure that the preferences of both FP users and non-users were included in order to ensure that strategies to improve the acceptability of services for all youth could be identified.
Data on FP use in the 12 months preceding the survey were intended to be used to split the sample for analysis in the event that preferences varied significantly between individuals who had experience in accessing FP services and those who did not.
Expanding FP services can substantially contribute towards PMTCT.
An immediate and targeted measure calls for better – real – integration of FP services into post-natal care for HIV-positive and indeed all sexually active women of reproductive age.
