Abstract

Achieving contraceptive additional users in Indonesia appears to be challenging. Contraceptive use is
disproportionately dominated by short-term methods contributing high discontinuation rate. The study aims to
investigate the discontinuation and switching behavior among contraceptive users by a different sources of health
facilities. The study also intends to identify socio-demographic factors characterizing switchers. The analysis uses
Government Performance and Accountability Survey 2018 conducted by National Population and Family Planning
Board, particularly for the reproductive-age women module. The unit analysis for discontinuation rate focuses on
2.085 women ever used contraception for the last 12 months, while 28.399 married women and in union who are
currently using contraception are the unit analysis for studying switching patterns. The result demonstrates that
excluding permanent methods, only injectable acceptors are majority consistent with their first choice (61%). A
common behavior shows a shift to exercise injectables at considerable percentage particularly in private sectors
and community-based facilities. Contraceptive practice is more likely shaped by supply limitation or to some extent
program bias rather than driven by women’s reproductive goals. A periodic review on the quality of family planning
services is important to identify factors affecting women’s decisions regarding their contraceptive choice and
address the gap.

Abstract

Women's knowledge about contraception is not yet in line with expectations and contraceptive methods are not
yet entirely known by women. The study examines media preference for eligible women based on social, economic
and demographic characteristics. Using secondary analysis data from 2017 family planning performance indicator
survey, this study was a descriptive study with univariate analysis, with 46,969 women aged 15-49 years included.
Television, posters, banners and billboards/baligo generally become women's major media preferences in
obtaining family planning information. While, exhibitions and flipcharts considered as the least media preferences.
The website/internet becomes the media preference in Riau Islands and Bali, but ineffective in Central Sulawesi.
Women's media preference in Papua is radio, but it is less popular in Jambi, Maluku, Lampung, Central Kalimantan,
South Kalimantan, North Kalimantan and North Sulawesi. Based on characteristics, women who live in urban areas,
younger in age (15-49 years), highly educated, with higher wealth quintiles and do not have children prefer to
choose websites/internet to obtain family planning information. However, women in the old age group (25-49
years), have a low level of education, with middle and low wealth quintile and have children tend to choose family
planning mobile information unit.
