Despite several family planning programmes in India, the use of reversible\u00a0contraception for limiting family planning has been stagnant and largely depends on female sterilization. Though many researchers have examined patterns and determinants of using modern contraception for total\u00a0family planning, studies on patterns and determinants of contraceptive use for birth limiting are limited in India. This paper examines the patterns of contraceptive use for liming demand and its determinants in India.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The National Family Health Survey-4, 2015\u201316 data was used. Bivariate chi-square significant test and multivariate\u00a0binary logistic regression model used to accomplish the study objectives.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Majority of women (86.5%) satisfied limiting demand (SLD) in India; the SLD was found significantly low among the women\u2019s age 15\u201319\u00a0years (53.1%) and parity 0 (42%). The satisfied limiting demand by modern reversible contraception (mrSLD) was found significantly high in age group 15\u201319\u00a0years (49.1%), Muslims (30.6%) and North-east region (45.4%). The satisfied limiting demand by traditional contraception (tSLD) was almost three times higher in North-east region (26.1%) than national average of India (8.7%). The women\u2019s years of schooling, wealth status, religion and presence of son child found to be significant determinants of mrSLD. The likelihood of tSLD was found significantly high among the women who had no son child (AOR\u2009=\u20091.41; 95% CI:1.34, 1.48), Muslim (AOR\u2009=\u20091.78; 95% CI:1.70, 1.87). A considerable\u00a0regional variability in levels of SLD, mrSLD and tSLD was found in India.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Public investment in family planning is required to promote and provide subsidized modern reversible contraception (MRC) services, especially to women from North-east region, Muslim, Scheduled tribe, poor household and who had no son child. Improving the quality and availability of MRC services in public health centre will be helpful to increase SLD among the above mentioned women. Besides, the promotion of MRC will be supportive to overcome the issues of sterilization regrets in India.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12905-022-01706-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,19]],"date-time":"2022-04-19T20:05:30Z","timestamp":1650398730000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Levels, patterns and determinants of using reversible contraceptives for limiting family planning in India: evidence from National Family Health Survey, 2015\u201316"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Margubur","family":"Rahaman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Risha","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pradip","family":"Chouhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Avijit","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sumela","family":"Ajmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Md Juel","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1706_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-13-102","volume":"13","author":"AAA Ali","year":"2013","unstructured":"Ali AAA, Okud A.
