| Abstract |
There appears to be an increasing trend of condom use for pregnancy prevention among nulliparous and multiparous women in developing countries. Drawing from a cross-sectional survey involving 1227 women selected using a 3-stage cluster random sampling technique, the study examines the rates of condom use and its determinants among parous women in three states in North Central and South Western Nigeria. The rate of condom use among parous women was 13.8% and 23.2% among women using any form of contraceptives. After adjusting for confounding factors (religion and marital status, socioeconomic status and access to a health facility in the resident community), women aged 26-35 (AOR 2.7; CI 1.6-4.5), urban residence (AOR: 3.6; CI 2.2-5.8), no income (AOR: 2.7; CI 1.4-4.9), living in Ekiti State (AOR: 1.8; CI 1.2-2.8) and having a tertiary level of education (AOR: 4.5; CI 1.3-15.6) were the independent predictors of condom use. There is an increasing trend of condom use among parous women. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 July 2018.
All research outputs
#18,968,525
of 23,510,717 outputs
Outputs from BMC Research Notes
#3,043
of 4,300 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,794
of 328,003 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Research Notes
#101
of 139 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,510,717 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,300 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,003 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 139 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
