Reviewer's report:
Factors influencing the use of modern contraceptive in Nigeria: A multilevel logistic analysis
using linked data from PMA2020
*It would be helpful if the survey include asking the participant about why they were reluctant to
use modern contraception (lack of information, cultural cause, fear of side effects.)*It was not clear what was the most common method usually used by population?*Did the authors ask the patients in the survey how do themselves think the best way to spread theawareness regarding the contraception use.*Table 1: (Distribution and association between study variables on utilization of moderncontraceptives.)in education :women with secondary school education (89.7%)and highereducation (81.9%) are more with the traditional methods .The authors need to clarify as the resultsin the manuscript mentioned clearly that the more the women are educated the more they go formodern contraceptive methods.*That goes also for the wealth index and the number of children the women had.I think that tableneed to be revised as the results are inconsistent.
