Unmet needs for family planning among married women aged 15-49 years living in two settlements with different socioeconomic and cultural characteristics: a cross-sectional study from Karabuk Province in Turkey.

CONCLUSION: The study showed the effects of socioeconomic and cultural factors on women's fertility behaviours and unmet needs for family planning to favour urban women. Not being married by civil marriage was a significant predictor of unmet need. These findings highlight a need for intervention, particularly for the empowerment of rural women, in order to improve reproductive health outcomes. PMID: 31454487 [PubMed - in process]
