Sierra Leone caesarean section data set

This dataset contains a reduced and de-identified dataset used in a study examining contraceptive uptake among women who delivered by caesarean section in Sierra Leone. The dataset includes information on contraceptive use at one year and five years following caesarean delivery, as well as selected sociodemographic and obstetric variables. The dataset consists of 48 variables covering participant characteristics, obstetric history, and postpartum contraceptive methods, including pills, implants, intrauterine contraceptive devices, condoms, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo), and bilateral tubal ligation (BTL). The variables were selected from the original dataset to support the analyses presented in the associated publication while ensuring participant confidentiality.
