Résumé
Despite the commitments of the government to minimize unintended pregnancy, abortion, and unmet need for contraceptives, as per our search of the literature, there is no study on the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive-aged women in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was based on the 32 Sub-Saharan African countries Demographic and Health Survey data. A total weighted sample of 65,487 women aged 15-49 was included in the study. The data were cleaned, weighted, and analyzed using STATA Version 14 software. Multilevel logistic regression modeling was used to identify determinants of an informed choice of contraceptive methods. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and The pooled prevalence of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive age (15-49) women in sub-Saharan Africa was 49.47% (95%CI: 44.33, 54.62%) with The pooled prevalence of informed choice of contraceptive methods in Sub-Saharan Africa is low with high disparities among the countries. Enhancing maternal education and media exposure, providing greater concern for the source of contraceptive methods, and strengthening the economic status of the country are recommended to enhance informed choice of contraceptive methods.

Background
Despite the commitments of the government to minimize unintended pregnancy, abortion, and unmet need for contraceptives, as per our search of the literature, there is no study on the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the pooled prevalence and determinants of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive-aged women in sub-Saharan Africa.
Methods
This study was based on the 32 Sub-Saharan African countries Demographic and Health Survey data. A total weighted sample of 65,487 women aged 15-49 was included in the study. The data were cleaned, weighted, and analyzed using STATA Version 14 software. Multilevel logistic regression modeling was used to identify determinants of an informed choice of contraceptive methods. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) and
Result
The pooled prevalence of informed choice of contraceptive methods among reproductive age (15-49) women in sub-Saharan Africa was 49.47% (95%CI: 44.33, 54.62%) with
Conclusion
The pooled prevalence of informed choice of contraceptive methods in Sub-Saharan Africa is low with high disparities among the countries. Enhancing maternal education and media exposure, providing greater concern for the source of contraceptive methods, and strengthening the economic status of the country are recommended to enhance informed choice of contraceptive methods.
