The approval to conduct this study was granted by the ethical committee at the Institute for Advanced Medical Research and Training [IAMRAT] of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan with approval number NHREC/05/012008a. Within the hospital system, the study gained approval for data collection and patient access by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Clinical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Ibadan. This approval was needed to access the Family Planning Research Unit where patients’ case files are. For the qualitative part of the study, informed consent was obtained from the participants before the commencement of the study. The respondents were informed that they would not be subjected to any form of harm and that their involvement would not induce mental health risk on them, in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki. We ensured that the secondary data from women’s case files were not commercialised or made accessible to unauthorised individuals who may use the information to the detriment of the women. The respondents were assured of the anonymity of the information they provided. The possible identifier that could be used to track each respondent to the information they provided was removed from the original data.
