Abstract
Most of the cross-level interactions with the level of infrastructural development in a district and a woman's educational attainment had a non-significant combined effect in both time points as well. Similarly, the measures of quality of care at service delivery points on their own have a limited effect on the number of children ever born to a woman and almost no effect on her decision to ever use modern contraceptives. However, the inclusion of cross-level interactions of the quality of care measures and whether a woman ever used modern contraceptives illustrated significant effects on the number of children ever born to a woman. The cross-level interactions of the choice of oral contraceptives at service delivery points in a district and a woman's educational attainment also illustrated the importance of family planning context on a woman's decision to ever use modern contraceptives.
