Summary of findings
The Secure User
Results of the study indicates that Secure users are women mainly in the
20-39 years bracket peaking with those at 25-29 years.
Just under 50% are married with children and a third are single.
Secure users are quite well educated, compared to the country’s norm,
with only 18% of them without at least some secondary education.
Usage of oral contraceptives and Secure
47% of respondents have been using OC’s for between 1-3years. 19% for
4-6 years and 31% for less than a year.
All the respondents who have used oral contraceptives less than a year
were Secure users.
Of the 47.2% respondents who have been using oral contraceptives
between 1-3 years, 79% have been Secure users for the whole period.
19% of the respondents have been using oral contraceptives between 4-6
years. Of this number 44% have been Secure users for the whole period.
Type of Family Planning Methods used before and in addition to Secure
3 out of every 5 users interviewed acknowledged having used a particular type
of FPM before switching to Secure. However only 13% of the users interviewed
are still using another other type of FPM in addition to Secure
The male condom was the most widely used FPM before and in addition to
Secure.
This was followed by the female condom and injectables.
However in the rural areas the most widely favored FPM used before switching
to Secure was the injectables (Bechem-33.3%, Dodowa-29.8%).
Methods used in preventing STD or HIV/AIDS
Overall, only 33% of the respondents use methods for the prevention of
STD or HIV/AIDS. This may be explained by the fact that about 50% of
respondents are married and may not see a need for STD protection.
Users in Kumasi (85%) came tops as those who employ nothing in the
prevention of STD or HIV/AIDS. This was followed by respondents in
Bechem, Dodowa and Accra.
Majority (73%) of the respondents who use STD/HIV/AIDS preventive
methods use the male condom. This was followed by the use of the female
condom by 25% of the respondents. Across all the centres the male
condom emerged as the most widely used method in preventing STD or
HIV/AIDS.
Secure cycles bought at a time

a time. Respondents who bought one (1) cycle were 23.3% of the total
sample, followed by 12.4% who bought two (2) cycles at a time.
A greater majority(83%) of the respondents in Accra bought three cycles at
a time. This was closely followed by Dodowa (62.5%), Kumasi (53%) and

time. Kumasi and Dodowa followed, with respondents in Accra being the
lowest group of users who buy a cycle of Secure at a time.

because it is very effective in preventing pregnancy. This reason was
ranked as the second main reason for using Secure.
Secure’s affordability and it being less expensive compared to the other
brands were mentioned as the main reasons for patronizing the brand.
The brand’s reliability and trustworthiness were mentioned as third main
reasons for patronage (13.4%).
Secure’s availability was mentioned by 11% of respondents as one of the
main reasons for patronage of the brand.
Other reasons for using Secure was because it is very comfortable to
use(4%) and it helps regulate menstrual cycle (7%)
Purchase intentions at different price points
At the price of ¢2000 per cycle , 96.5% of respondents have a positive
intention of buying Secure. As the price increases to ¢3000, demand drops
to 83% and further down to 63% at a price of ¢4000. This indicates that as
the price of Secure is increased demand of the product gradually falls.
All respondents in Bechem would definitely buy the brand at the price of
¢2000 per cycle. This is followed by Accra 91% of respondents, 84% in
Dodowa and 70% in Kumasi.
At a price of ¢3000 per cycle demand for the brand at all the centers falls.
However 81% of respondents in Bechem would definitely buy the brand.
67% of the users in Accra would definitely buy the brand at this price point
whilst 75% and 40% would definitely buy the brand in Dodowa and Kumasi
respectively.
Purchase intentions at different price points
At the price point of ¢4000 per cycle only a slight majority (63%) would
definitely/probably buy the brand. 26% would definitely/probably not buy
the brand, whilst 11% are indecisive about it
In Accra at this price point, a majority 71% of respondents have positive
intentions of buying the brand. 73% of respondents in Dodowa also have
positive intentions of buying the brand. This is followed by 65% and 60%

brands or alternative methods. 13% of consumers will abandon the brand
at the price of ¢3000
Rate at which the consumers abandon the brand continues to rise sharply
as the price is increased. 36% and 53% consumers abandon the brand at
the price point of ¢4000 and ¢5000 respectively.
The rate at which consumers start abandoning the brand immediately a
new price is mentioned, means at a price point of ¢6000, patronage of the
brand will be from only the 40% of core loyal users.
Consumers from Kumasi will abandon the brand at a faster rate. This is
followed by consumers from Bechem, Dodowa and Accra.
Price per cycle at which users will abandon brand
Core loyals remaining at a price point of ¢6000 will be 21% in Kumasi,
whilst loyals in Accra will be 53%.

Retention rates drops to 87% at a price point of ¢3000, 64% at price point
¢4000 and 40% at a price of ¢6000.
These figures coincides with intention to purchase at ¢2000 which stood at
96%, ¢3000 at 83% and ¢4000 at 62%.

Background
Background•Studies have shown that the commercial oral contraceptive (OC) market is small,
between 600,000 and 800,000 cycles per annum. Price points range between
25,000 cedis and 45,000 cedis per cycle and is said to contribute only about 10%
to 15% of all oral contraceptives used in Ghana.
•Secure which was introduced into the Ghanaian market under a USAID funded
social marketing program has the largest share of approximately 70% with 6
million cycles per annum, mainly due to its high subsidy and availability in private
outlets
•A segmentation study conducted in 2005, has indicated that a share of the current
Secure users can afford to pay a higher price for Secure.
•To reduce the level of donor subsidy to this product, GSCP is now planning to
segment the OC market by adjusting the prices for Secure and introducing one
new product.
The objectives
The survey sought to provide answers to the following;
Ascertain what consumers are currently paying for Secure
Test three hypothetical price increases
At what price point will the Secure user abandon the brand.
What will the user do if they can no longer purchase Secure
Estimate the demand at the new price
Methodology
A quantitative research method using elements of the Brand Price Trade
Off (BPTO) and Price Sensitivity Measure (PSM) was employed in
collecting data for this study.
