Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the use of contraception by adolescents aged 10 to 19 years in three municipalities of Senegal, as well as the associated factors. The study was conducted in 2022 and used a cross-sectional approach. The sample size was 940 participants. Sampling was done using a multistage stratified random sampling method. The chi-square test and logistic regression using R software version 4.2.1 were used to analyze the data. Only 2.2% of adolescents had ever used a contraceptive method. Adolescents aged 15 to 19 years, those residing in Kolda, married adolescents, and those who were aware of family planning were more likely to use family planning methods. We conclude that policymakers in Senegal should implement policies and programmes for improving the reproductive health needs of adolescents in Senegal.
