The dependent variable was the use of a modern contraceptive method (binary). Modified Poisson regression was used to identify associated factors.\nResults: The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among young lactating mothers was 53.9% (n = 536\/995), with 41.4% using implants, followed by male condoms (38.2%), injectables (14.6%) and pills (5.4%). Modern contraceptive use was significantly higher among women who discussed FP with their spouses (adjusted prevalence ratios [aPR] = 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2\u20131.8, p = 0.001) and among women who had ever used modern contraceptives before the last pregnancy (aPR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.6\u20132.4, p &lt; 0.001). Similarly, women in the rich quintile (aPR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1\u20132.0, p = 0.013) and the richest quintile (aPR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1\u20132.1, p = 0.014) were more likely to use modern contraceptives compared to the poorest.\nConclusion: The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among young lactating mothers in Kaya is relatively high, with some modifiable factors that still explain contraceptive use.\nContribution: This study documented evidence on contraceptive use among young lactating mothers under Burkina Faso\u2019s free FP policy, highlighting equity gaps and actionable levers (communication between couples, prior exposure and men\u2019s involvement).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/jphia.v17i1.1661","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,25]],"date-time":"2026-05-25T10:33:06Z","timestamp":1779705186000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Modern contraceptive use, associated factors and reasons for non-use among young lactating mothers in the context of free family planning services in the Kaya municipality setting, Burkina Faso"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6015-3824","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abou","family":"Coulibaly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Public Health, Institute of Research in Health Sciences, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1016-4896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adama","family":"Baguiya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Public Health, Institute of Research in Health Sciences, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2654-5135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeoffray","family":"Diend\u00e9r\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Public Health, Institute of Research in Health Sciences, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5428-4692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franck","family":"Garanet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Public Health, Institute of Research in Health Sciences, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5080-5155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Halima","family":"Tougri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Public Health, Institute of Research in Health Sciences, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5185-2516","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denise","family":"Kpebo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Unit, National Public Health Institute, Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2426-7669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seni","family":"Kouanda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Public Health, Institute of Research in Health Sciences, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Say L, Chou D, Gemmill A, et al.
