ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The emigration of Venezuelans has seen a significant increase in recent years. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with access to contraceptives in migrant women from Venezuela residing in Peru.Methods:
An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Second Survey of the Venezuelan Population Residing in Peru. Access to contraceptives (yes/no) was established as the dependent variable. A Poisson regression model was performed for complex samples, and crude (PRc) and adjusted (PRa) prevalence ratios were reported.Results:
A total of 3617 migrant women were analyzed, with 50.12% reporting access to contraceptives. Factors associated with greater access to contraceptives included being between 20 to 29 years old, having a university education, the entry period after the declaration of COVID-19 quarantine was associated with lower access to contraceptives.Conclusions:
Access to contraceptives for Venezuelan migrants should be provided to all, as it is a free service in Peru. Additionally, education and family planning should be provided from the basic or middle school level to prevent unintended pregnancies in the future. Complete coverage should be provided regardless of the time of entry into Peru.Palabras clave
