Factors Associated With Contraceptive Initiation and Use Among Women Who Have Given Birth in the Last Year: Findings From the 2023 Women's Reproductive Health Survey.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study investigates contraceptive use among individuals who have recently given birth. It aims to identify factors associated with contraceptive use at two months and one-year of giving birth. Additionally, it assesses whether receiving and being satisfied with contraceptive counselling influences contraceptive use.
designCross-sectional analysis of data from the 2023 Women's Reproductive Health Survey.
settingEngland. POPULATION: Participants who had given birth in the last year (n = 2044).
methodsBivariate and multivariable logistic regressions examined factors associated with contraceptive use.
main outcome measuresContraceptive initiation within two months of giving birth. Contraceptive use within one year of giving birth.
resultsOverall, 73% (n = 1489/2044) of participants were using contraception, however 58% (n = 1154/1998) had not initiated use within two months of giving birth. Bivariate analyses indicated that younger participants, those who received counselling, and those satisfied with it had higher odds of initiating contraception within two months. Similarly, younger individuals, those not desiring more children, and those who received counselling had higher odds of using contraception within one year. Multivariable analysis showed that receiving counselling and being satisfied with it were significantly associated with early initiation.
conclusionsThis study highlights the need for high-quality contraceptive counselling as part of maternity care. Counselling during or immediately after pregnancy was shown to impact contraceptive initiation and use. Policy improvements and further research on achieving universal high-quality counselling are important to ensure equitable access to contraception.
