Introduction. The present study aims to explore factors that might be associated with a SRH indicator such as the use of modern contraceptives in sexually active men and women.
Materials and Methods. This is a secondary data analysis from the national sexual and reproductive health survey, conducted in 2009. The survey used the Census of Population and Housing conducted in 2000 as the sample frame. Analyses were performed using the statistical analysis program Stata SE 13.0.
Results. The use of modern contraceptives is statistically significant in non-indigenous men and women and those who live in urban areas. Educational attainment, being sexually active before age 18 and having more than two sexual partners in a year were statistically significant with the condom use in men and were not associated with the use of modern contraceptives in women.
Conclusions. Efforts are needed to ensure access to sexual and reproductive health services for women, those who are living in indigenous areas, and persons self-identified as indigenous.
