Determinants of Unplanned Pregnancy in Married Women in North Sumatra Province

“…Besides that, a woman's age is also related to the use of contraception, where women over 35 generally have low contraceptive participation because they think they are not fertile enough to experience pregnancy. Therefore, even though married couples aged >38 years do not plan to have additional children, they do not use any contraceptive methods (Saputri et al, 2022).…”

“…It may be related to the low ability of women in the middle to lower wealth index to access contraception services in the context of planning a pregnancy, so most cases of UP occur in women with the lowest economic index (Anggraini et al, 2018;Muthmainnah et al, 2020). Research in Banten also shows that a low wealth index is the unmet need predictor for contraception among married couples (Saputri et al, 2022). Research using IDHS 2017 data also shows an increase in the use of modern contraception in childbearingage couples in the middle-upper wealth index (Irawaty and Gayatri, 2021).…”
