Socioeconomic determinants of use of reproductive health services in Ghana

Gordon Abekah-Nkrumah () and Patience Abor ()

Health Economics Review, 2015, vol. 6, issue 1, 1-15

Abstract: The study associates the increasing use of traditional contraceptives in urban centers and the much stronger effect of household wealth with urban poverty and the increasing indirect cost of health services, and argues for interventions to improve quality of service in public facilities and reduce inequities in the distribution of health facilities. Finally, the study advocates for family planning-related interventions that involve and target partners given the importance of partner education in the use of modern contraception.
