| Sumario: | Every young woman has the right to reproductive health care. It is quite important for every woman to make an informed decision when choosing contraception. This is because women of today face a lot of challenges when it comes to the issue of reproductive health care. Young women choose contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies and other reproductive health-related risks. The increase in abortion and pregnancy complication rates among young women is far too much and needs to be critically addressed to reduce maternal deaths (MD) and infant mortality. The decision made on the use of contraception by many young women has interfered with some factors that prevent them from making the right decisions. This piece is to identify those factors that influence young women’s reluctance of using contraception and how to promote contraceptive usage among Ghanaian women. |
