Hormonal contraceptive use was high among women with a higher level of education (aOR\u2009=\u20092.33; 95%CI: 1.73\u20133.14), those currently working (aOR\u2009=\u20091.38; 95%CI: 1.20\u20131.59), those who have heard about family planning on the radio (aOR\u2009=\u20091.27, 95%CI: 1.09\u20131.47), listened to the radio at least once a week (aOR\u2009=\u20091.29, 95%CI: 1.10\u20131.51), and those residing in rural areas (aOR\u2009=\u20091.32; 95%CI: 1.14\u20131.54). Conversely, women aged 45\u201349 exhibited a substantial decrease in the odds of hormonal contraceptive use (aOR\u2009=\u20090.23, 95%CI: 0.14\u20130.38) compared to younger women (15\u201319 years). Likewise, the odds of HCU were low among cohabiting (aOR\u2009=\u20090.66; 95%CI: 0.48\u20130.89) and previously married women (aOR\u2009=\u20090.67; 95%CI: 0.50\u20130.91) than never married women.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13104-024-06830-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T06:02:14Z","timestamp":1718776934000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Hormonal contraceptive use among women living with hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa: insights from 12 countries"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Joshua","family":"Okyere","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard Gyan","family":"Aboagye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Castro","family":"Ayebeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abigail Kabukie","family":"Dosoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel","family":"Salu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kwamena Sekyi","family":"Dickson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"6830_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e819","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(19)30199-8","volume":"7","author":"L Bahamondes","year":"2019","unstructured":"Bahamondes L, Peloggia A.
