      Southwest Nigeria.

AB  - BACKGROUND: In Nigeria, contraceptive use has remained low, 12% for any modern 
      method, despite the huge resources committed to family planning programs by 
      stakeholders. This study was carried out to assess the knowledge and utilization 
      of family planning and determine predictors of utilization of family planning 
      among postpartum women attending primary health care centers (PHCs) in a selected 
      rural area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria. METHODS: This was a descriptive 
      cross-sectional study conducted among 325 postpartum women attending PHCs in 
      Ibeju-Lekki local government area of Lagos State selected using a multi-stage 
      sampling technique. A pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used 
      to collate data which was analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. 
      RESULT: The mean age was 29.94 +/- 5.14 years. All the respondents (100%) had heard 
      of contraceptive methods, however only 38 (11.7%) had good knowledge of family 
      planning. About 38.5% of the respondents used modern family planning methods 
      during the postpartum period. The most commonly used methods were male condoms 
      (26.3%) and implants (17.0%). The significant predictors of postpartum family 
      planning (PPFP) were non-intention to have more children [AOR = 1.88 (95% CI: 
      1.14-3.11)], and good knowledge of family [AOR = 2.31 (95% CI: 1.11-4.81)]. 
      CONCLUSION: It is recommended that interventions be designed to educate and 
      advocate for the use of family planning methods not only to stop childbearing but 
      also to space pregnancies. Education about family planning should also be 
      intensified to improve knowledge of family planning, and thus practice.
