The study examined consistent determinants of knowledge of modern contraceptive among married women in Nigeria. This study used mixed method approach to examine consistent socio-demographic factors influencing knowledge of modern methods of contraceptives among married women in Nigeria. It employed the 2008 and 2018 Nigeria Demographic Health Survey (NDHS) data sets, which were analysed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate (i.e. binary logistic regression) techniques. Qualitative data was gotten from Focus Group Discussion among pregnant women attending ante-natal clinic within a health facilities in three Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria. Bivariate results show that knowledge of contraceptives is significantly and consistently associated with socio-demographic variables examined with p-value = 0.000 in both surveys. Multivariate results show that geographical region, women’s education, women’s wealth and work status is significantly consistent in determining the knowledge of modern contraceptives among married women in Nigeria. The qualitative result shows that FGD participants showed that educated women and urban women have more knowledge compared to uneducated and rural women. Policy and programmes geared towards improving knowledge of modern contraceptives method and it adoption among married women of reproductive age in Nigeria will need to consider these key socio socio-demographic factors.
