OBJECTIVE We assessed whether the fulfillment of contraceptive preferences affected women’s decisions to continue, switch, or stop using contraception. METHODS Data came from a panel of urban Kenyan, Nigerian, and Senegalese women collected between 2010–2015. Women who were not using contraception at baseline and intended to use reported their preferred contraceptive method, and then at the second round reported their contraceptive use, which permits us to measure whether they fulfilled their baseline preference. We then examined whether fulfilling their contraceptive preference was associated with the decision to continue, switch, or stop using contraception by the third round by estimating a set of probit and bivariate probit models.","PeriodicalId":48242,"journal":{"name":"Demographic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139615431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHOD Drawing on data from two waves of a cross-sectional survey conducted in May and November 2021 as part of the Youth Project, we investigate the various ways in which the living arrangements of young individuals, such as exiting or returning to the parental home, have evolved in response to the pandemic, in alignment with or in contrast to their pre-pandemic intentions.
