ABSTRACT: Introduction: In Senegal, adolescents aged 10 to 19
years represent 22.9% of the total population. The unmet need for contraception
in this part of the population remains high despite the health interventions
implemented to promote their sexual health. The aim of this study is to analyze
the practice of modern contraception in schools in Dakar high schools in
Senegal during the year 2018. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in
high schools and colleges in Dakar from March 1 to April 30, 2018. This study
involved 452 students. This was a self-administration of the questionnaires.
After univaried and bivaried analyses, a multivariate logistic analysis
identified the factors associated with students’ use of modern contraception.
Results: The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among students is 8.84%.
Factors associated with the use of modern contraceptive methods among students
were age over 18 years (AR: 4.7, 95% CI [1.02 - 22.5]), male sex (AR: 27.8, 95%
CI [6.8 - 100.0]), secondary school level (AR: 10.6, 95% CI [2.1 - 53.0]),
access to a youth socio-educational home (AR: 3.9, 95% CI [1.1 - 14.9]) and
having a child (AR: 25.6, 95% CI [2.2 - 100.0]). Conclusion: Our results
concluded that modern contraceptive needs were better met among older male
students, those who had an unfortunate experience of unwanted pregnancy and
those attending school’s youth socio-educational homes. This suggests
shortcomings in the promotion of sexual health among younger students,
particularly those in the secondary grades.
