Effective contraceptive use prevents most reproductive health challenges. The aim of this
study is to identify the demographic predictors of contraceptive usage in Ghana. Using a logistic
regression analysis, a sample size of 4916 women of the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey
(GDHS) 2008 were selected. Results showed that religion is the most important predictor among
the demographic factors. Ethnicity of the women, level of education and region of residence were
also found to be statistically significantly. Contraceptive health promotion should be intensified as
the best option for preventing unintended pregnancies in the respective variables.
