Contraceptive use among migrant, second-generation migrant and non-migrant women seeking abortion care: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in Sweden

Journal of Family Planning & Reproductive Health Care Jan 24, 2019

Iwarsson KE, et al. - Researchers compared three groups of women (migrants, second-generation migrants, and non-migrant women) in terms of ever-in life contraception use, use of contraception at current conception, and planned use of contraception after an induced abortion. Further, they determined the types of contraception methods used and intended for future use among the three groups of women. In this cross-sectional study, 637 women aged 18 years and older who were seeking abortion care at one of six abortion clinics in Stockholm County from January to April 2015 were administered a questionnaire face-to-face. Findings revealed lower proportions of contraception use in migrants and second-generation migrants than in non-migrants. Historically, non-migrants used pills (89%) and withdrawal (24%) while migrants used the copper intrauterine device (24%) in higher extent compared to the other two groups of women. Both the migrants (65%) and second-generation migrants (61%) were more frequently planning to use long-acting reversible contraception than the non-migrants (48%).
