Nikhil Patil: Contraceptive Use Among Married Women of Reproductive Age

Nikhil Patil, Field Investigator at ICMR-National Institute of Translational Virology and AIDS Research, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“I am pleased to share our recent publication in the International Journal of Advanced Community Medicine: ‘Prevalence and Determinants of Contraceptive Use among Married Women of Reproductive Age in Urban Slum and Urban Areas of Pune, India.’

Key findings:

  • Significantly lower contraceptive use in urban slum areas
  • Condoms were the most commonly used method in both groups
  • Limited awareness of emergency contraception in slum women
  • Education, income, and area of residence strongly associated with contraceptive uptake (p < 0.001)

Truly grateful to the authors and field team for their dedication and collaborative effort throughout this study. It was a meaningful and enriching experience working together on this important public health issue.
