Couples' Concordance Index in Togo and Contraceptive Use

The brief examines the relationship between the Couples' Concordance Index (ICC) and the use of contraceptives in Togo. It presents the results of a study that analyzed data from 65 countries, including Togo, to understand the differences in couples' concordance across regions and its relation to the prevalence of modern contraceptive methods. The study found a strong correlation between the ICC and the use of contraceptives, with higher ICC scores associated with higher prevalence of modern contraceptive methods. The brief also provides recommendations for policymakers and programmers to improve family planning outcomes in Togo.
