This research analyzes the impact of decision making in couples on the usage of modern contraception and identifies the other relevant socioeconomic and cultural determinants. From "Côte d'Ivoire Demographic and Health Surveys 2012", the statistics results showed that the percent of women who have knowledge on contraception is very low. The usage of contraception is higher among young than older and is two times higher among urban than rural. The Probit regression results showed that decision-making power in couples has a strong positive significantly impact on using contraceptive methods. Furthermore, education, knowledge on methods, living environment and age are major determinants of the contraceptive practice. In contrast, Muslim religion has a negative significantly impact on the probability of using contraception. The reproductive health workers must involve couples and religious leaders, especially the Muslim authorities in advocacy and activities of sensitization for better usage of modern contraception in households. The health authorities must also reduce the regional gap concerning free distribution of the products of modern contraception. Similarly, the providers must play their role to increase access to the products of modern contraception to better meet the needs and satisfaction of women in family planning.

Background: The phenomenon of social determinants to maternal death reduction in the continent of Africa is a global health problem of increasing concern. Every region had shown progress, although levels of maternal mortality remain unacceptably high in Africa. 1 Objectives: This narrative literature review study was conducted for exploring the key social determinants and ways of coping mechanisms, for the reduction of maternal mortality, among African women living inside the African continent. Methods: A narrative literature review design was applied using a variety of search engines employing a Boolean search strategy to retrieve research publications, "grey literature", and expert working group reports. Key findings: The review recognized different social determinants among African countries, which affect women's health negatively. The commonly reported include, health care provider attitude, economic/financial inequity, geographical (transportation problems), insecurity, marital status and age, education, gender equity, material and human resources, socio-cultural factors and health care system delivery. Whereas common strategies to cope with maternal health care services were found to be good dress, good reliance on social network, maternal health education, gender equality and male involvement in reproductive health activities. Conclusion: The continental maternal death trend did not reduced as it was intended by Millennium Development Goals (Goal-5) and still continues with Sustainable Development Goals (Goal-5), "Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls"; therefore the importance of social determinants and coping strategies still remains crucial in accelerating maternal mortality reduction among many African countries.
