Abstract
We assessed the patterns of contraceptive usage and associated sociodemographic correlates in India using data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)–4, comprising 76,747 young, currently married (ages 15–24), nonpregnant women. A multinomial logistic regression model was used to examine the factors associated with contraceptive use. Results indicate that education and household wealth had a positive association with modern contraceptives. Being rural residents, being socially marginalized, and living in large households decreased the likelihood of modern contraceptive use. Findings suggest that an enhancement in girls’ education, financial support, and family-planning awareness could increase contraceptive use.
