AB  -  A short inter-pregnancy interval increases the risk for maternal and neonatal 
      deaths in addition to other pregnancy complications including: preterm delivery, 
      low birth weight, anaemia and premature rupture of membranes. However, only one 
      half of Kenyan women, who have no desire to conceive immediately after birth, are 
      using contraception one year after delivery. Aim: The aim of this study was to 
      determine the predictors of uptake of post-partum family planning 
      (PPFP). Setting: The study was conducted among post-partum women accompanying 
      their children for their first measles vaccination at Webuye County Hospital 
      (WCH), in western Kenya. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 259 
      randomly sampled post-partum women, accompanying their children for their first 
      measles vaccination. A structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was 
      used to collect data. Logistic regression was used to identify correlates of PPFP 
      uptake. Results: The uptake of PPFP among women at 9 months post-partum at WCH 
      was found to be 78.4% +/- 5.0%. The odds of PPFP uptake among women living with 
      their sexual partners was 88.2% less than among those not living with their 
      partners with the true population effect between 97% and 51% (OR = 0.118; 95% CI: 
      0.028-0.494; p = 0.003). Conclusions: Not living with her sexual partner in the 
      same house is the key predictor of a woman's PPFP uptake in WCH. This study 
      recommends that any programme aimed at improving post-partum contraceptive use in 
      WCH should target women who live with their partners in the same house.
