Family Planning & Contraceptive Access Dataset

Abstract

This dataset provides 30,000 simulated women of reproductive age records (10,000 per scenario) from sub-Saharan Africa. Each record contains 40+ variables including demographics, contraceptive use, method mix, unmet need, barriers, discontinuation, and reproductive outcomes. Three settings: urban FP clinic (45% CPR), district health centre (28%), and rural community (13%).

1. Introduction

SSA has the highest unmet need for family planning globally (~24% among married women). Modern contraceptive prevalence remains ~28% across the region. Injectable contraceptives dominate the method mix, with implant use blossoming but IUD use very low. Barriers include side effect fears, partner opposition, access/distance, cost, and cultural factors. Unmet need leads to unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortions.

This dataset is entirely simulated. It must not be used for clinical decision-making.

2. Methodology

2.1 Parameterization

Parameter Value Source
Modern CPR SSA ~28% UNFPA 2024
Unmet need (married) ~24% PMC 2024
Injectable dominance 30-45% of mix PubMed 2013
Implant growth Blossoming PubMed 2018
IUD use Very low PubMed 2018
Side effects as barrier #1 reason PubMed 2023

2.2 Scenario Design

Scenario Full Mix Counselling CPR Unmet Need
Urban FP clinic Yes Yes 45% 17%
District HC Partial No 28% 34%
Rural community Pills/condoms No 13% 52%

3. Schema

Column Type Description
id int Unique identifier
age int Age (15-49)
marital_status categorical married / cohabiting / single / divorced
parity int Number of children
currently_using_modern binary Using modern contraception
current_method categorical injectable / implant / pill / iud / condom / sterilisation
method_type categorical long_acting / short_acting / traditional
unmet_need binary Unmet need for FP
unmet_need_type categorical spacing / limiting
barrier_to_use categorical side_effects / partner / access / cost / religious / knowledge
discontinued_past_year binary Discontinued method
discontinuation_reason categorical side_effects / wanted_pregnancy / access / partner / failure
unintended_pregnancy binary Unintended pregnancy
unsafe_abortion binary Unsafe abortion

4. Validation

Validation Report

Key validation checks:

  • Modern CPR gradient: 45% → 28% → 13% ✓
  • Unmet need gradient: 17% → 34% → 52% ✓
  • Injectable dominant in method mix ✓
  • Side effects = #1 barrier and discontinuation reason ✓
  • Unintended pregnancy higher in rural ✓
  • Education increases CPR ✓

5. Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/family-planning-contraception", "district_health_centre")
df = dataset["train"].to_pandas()

6. Limitations

  • Simulated: Not from real DHS/PMA surveys.
  • Women only: No male perspectives.
  • No couples data: No dyadic analysis.
  • Simplified: No detailed side effect profiles.
  • Cross-sectional: No method switching trajectory.
