Abstract

This mixed-methods study examined the relationship between reproductive coercion (RC) and covert contraceptive use among intimate partner violence survivors in Nairobi, Kenya. Quantitative analyses utilize baseline data from the myPlan Kenya trial ( n = 321). Purposive in-depth interviews (IDIs) ( n = 30) explored women's reproductive safety strategies. Multinomial analyses indicated increased covert use and decreased overt use compared to nonuse, for women experiencing RC; logistic models similarly report increased odds of covert use with RC experience. Qualitative data contextualize women's reasons for use and challenges faced. Integration of reproductive safety strategies into family planning and violence services can improve the safe use of contraception.
