Digital media and the reproductive choices of young people aged 15 to 24

This book analyzes the influence of digital media on the reproductive behaviors of young people aged 15 to 24 in Parakou (Benin). Using data collected in 2024 by ENSPD students, the study mobilizes Chi-2 tests as well as logistic and quantile regressions to identify determinants of choices in contraception, intention to use and desire for children. The results reveal that Internet use, dating platforms and socio-demographic characteristics significantly influence these behaviors. The book highlights the growing role of digital media in sexual and reproductive health, and argues for public policies that integrate these tools to empower young people.
