In Ghana, the intention to use and actual usage of contraceptives is influenced by many factors, which may lead to non-usage or discontinuation. This quantitative study was conducted to determine risk and protective factors impacting on the intention and usage of contraceptives. Survey data from the Ghana 2014 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) (<i>n</i> = 9396) was used. A sub-sample of 7661 women in their reproductive age were included in this study, who reported being sexually active within the last year. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to test the association between a broad range of risk and protective factors including religion, early sexual intercourse, frequency of sex, number of lifetime sexual partners with intention to use contraception. We controlled for income, educational attainment, and age. Overall (<i>n</i> = 3661; 47.8%) reported no intention of contraception use. Logistic regression analysis revealed that no formal education (OR = 1.49; 95% CI, 1.29-1.72; <i>p</i> < 0.001), and primary school as highest educational level (OR = 1.19; 95% CI, 1.04-1.25; <i>p</i> < 0.001), Islamic religion (OR = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.59-0.90; <i>p</i> < 0.001), not currently employed (OR = 1.50; 95% CI, 1.34-1.69; <i>p</i> < 0.001), husband opposing contraception use (OR = 2.19; 95% CI, 1.42-3.46; <i>p</i> < 0.001), and currently pregnant (OR = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.09-1.54; <i>p</i> < 0.001) were also positively associated with no intention of use.
