Abstract

The purpose of this study is to uncover the socioeconomic and demographic factors that influence the usage of contraceptives by analysing trends and patterns in Tanzania's family planning uptake using data from national surveys. The results show that while Tanzania has made progress in increasing contraceptive prevalence from 27% in 2010 to 39% in 2021-22, disparities persist across socioeconomic and demographic lines. Women in urban areas, from higher wealth quintiles, and with higher educational attainment have significantly higher contraceptive prevalence rates compared to their counterparts. The study also reveals that the majority of women are aware of family planning methods, and more than 75% of users get their methods from public sources. However, barriers such as sociocultural norms, spousal communication, and limited knowledge continue to hinder progress, particularly in rural areas. The study's findings offer evidence-based insights to guide the development and implementation of more successful family planning policies and programs in Tanzania, with the aim of resolving ongoing disparities in access and use of family planning services.

Abstract

Teenage pregnancies are among the leading public health problems in Tanzania. This was linked to limited education, socioeconomic disparities, cultural barriers, and inadequate access to healthcare centers. Thus, this study aims to explore the prevalence and predictors of teenage pregnancy among adolescent women using data from the 2022-2023 Tanzanian Demographic Health Survey (TDHS). The research design employed a cross-sectional approach and utilized TDHS data. The population for this study was female adolescents, while the sample was 7,545 adolescent women aged 15-24 years. Predictor variables were education level, socioeconomic status, place of residence, employment status, and lifestyle factors, including alcohol consumption and smoking status. Logistic regression analyses were performed. The results of this study found that alcohol consumption was the highest risk factor that contributed to teen pregnancy, as teenage drinkers were found to have significantly higher odds of becoming pregnant (aOR=2.21). Also, economic status was found to further elevate the risk of teen pregnancy in that adolescents from families of lower socioeconomic status were more susceptible to the harmful effects of alcohol consumption (aOR=1.64). Rural residence was also significantly associated with odds for adolescent pregnancy, indicating the need for strengthened interventions among rural youth. The significance of pluralistic policies to reduce alcohol consumption, improve education and reproductive health care, and resolve the socio-economic problems among adolescents, particularly in disadvantaged and rural areas.
