摘要

This study investigates the intrinsic relationship between intimate partner violence and contraceptive use among currently married, non-pregnant women in India. The fifth round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-V) data conducted during the year 2019–202 has been used. Logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression have been used to explore the association between each form of intimate partner violence and the types and methods of contraception adopted. The study findings indicate that women who have ever experienced physical violence are more likely to use contraceptives as compared to women who have not experienced intimate partner violence (Physical Violence- OR: 1.328; p < 0.001), however, no significant effects of sexual and emotional violence on contraception use have been seen. The result further indicates that women who have experienced any form of IPV were less likely to use Covert (AOR: 0.751; p > 0.05) and overt (AOR: 0.664; p < 0.05) methods of contraception, in reference to other methods of contraception, than those who have not experienced IPV. The findings underscore the necessity of developing targeted interventions for women experiencing violence, given its significant impact on contraceptive use. Policymakers should create tailored educational campaigns aimed at older women and those in longer marriages, focusing on the benefits and availability of contraceptive options.
