Modern contraceptive methods utilization and associated factors among reproductive aged women in rural Dembia District, northwest Ethiopia: Community based cross-sectional study

Patterns and correlates of intention to use contraceptives among fecund sexually active women in developing countries

BACKGROUND

Understanding a woman's future contraceptive needs and enhancing her chances of putting those needs into action depend heavily on her intentions to use contraceptive methods. However, there is little information about global perspectives of intention to utilise contraceptives among fecund sexually active women.

OBJECTIVES

This study examines the patterns and determinants of contraception intention of fecund sexually active women.

METHODS

The most recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) from 59 countries were used for secondary data analysis. The DHSs applied a cross-sectional survey design to collect data from women between the ages of 15 and 49. The study comprises a sample of 697,590 fecund sexually active women in the reproductive ages. The desire to utilise contraceptive methods was examined using a multivariable binary logistic regression analysis. All analyses were weighted to allow for a complex survey design.

RESULTS

A pooled prevalence of intention to utilise contraception was 42.8% (95% CI: 42.5, 43.1) at the global level. Eastern and Southern Europe had the lowest prevalence, 17.3% (95% CI: 16.4, 18.2), and the highest prevalence was observed in countries from Latin America and the Caribbean, 68.0% (95% CI: 67.5, 69.9). Attaining secondary-level education (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.62-1.72) or higher (aOR = 1.71; 95% CI: 1.63-1.80), working (aOR = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.18-1.24), experience of a pregnancy loss (aOR = 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03-1.09), or being exposed to media family planning messages (aOR = 1.51; 95% CI: 1.48-1.55) were factors associated with an increased likelihood of intent to use contraceptives.

CONCLUSIONS

The study has established that contraceptive use intention was low in many developing countries. Education, age, employment status, fertility preference, and exposure to family planning messages influenced contraceptive use intention. Health policy-makers ought to consider these factors when designing sexual and reproductive health strategies in developing countries.

Use of any contraceptive method among women in rural communities in the eastern region of Ghana: a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND

In Ghana, there is an increase in contraceptive use for traditional and modern methods in rural areas. This study seeks to examine the prevalence and determinants of current use of any contraceptive method among women of reproductive age in the rural Eastern Region of Ghana.

METHODS

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among women of reproductive age in the rural Eastern region of Ghana. A structured questionnaire was used to interview women in rural Lower Manya and Upper Manya Krobo districts of Eastern region who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data were analysed using Stata version 16. A Binary logistic regression was used to examine the determinants of current use of any contraceptive use (traditional and modern methods).

RESULTS

The prevalence of contraceptive use was 27.8%. In the adjusted analysis of binary logistic regression, contraceptive use was significantly lower (aOR = 0.24; 95%CI = 0.10-0.56; p = 0.001) among respondents aged 41-49 years compared to those aged 18-35 years. Contraceptive use was significantly lower among migrants (aOR:0.53; 95%CI:0.28-0.99; p = 0.048) compared with non-migrant.

CONCLUSION

The prevalence of any contraceptive use among rural women was low. Government and other stakeholders need to create awareness about contraception in the rural areas of Eastern region of Ghana and that would help increase contraceptive methods utilization. In addition, family planning programs should target migrants to design an intervention to increase contraceptive use in rural areas.

Modern contraceptive method utilization and determinant factors among women in Ethiopia: Multinomial logistic regression mini- EDHS-2019 analysis

BACKGROUND

Globally, approximately 290,000 women between the ages of 15 and 49 died from pregnancy-related problems in 2014 alone, with these sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 65% (179,000) of the deaths. Although studies are conducted on modern contraceptives, information is scarce on multinomial regression analysis at the national level data. Therefore, this study aimed to assess modern contraceptive method utilization and determinant factors among women in Ethiopia.

METHODS

Data for this study were extracted from the national representative 2019 Ethiopian Mini Demographic and Health Survey. Data was collected using a 2-stage cluster design, in which enumeration areas formed the first stage and households made the second stage. The survey was conducted from March 21, 2019, to June 28, 2019. The analysis was done using multinomial logistic regression using STATA software version 14. The overall categorical variables with a P value of < 0.25 at the binomial analysis were included in the final model of the multinomial logistic regression model in which odds ratios with 95% CIs were estimated to identify the independent variables of women's modern contraceptive utilization. P values less than 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. All analysis was done on weighted data.

RESULTS

A total of 8885 (weighted) participants were included in the current study from these,. The current study revealed that the prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization was 28.1% (95%CI: 27.6.7-28.6%). Factors like: women 25 to 34 years (aRRR = 1.5;95% CI:1.2-1.9), 35 to 44 years (aRRR = 2.4; 95% CI: 3.3-5.4), and greater than 45 years (aRRR = 2.9; 95% CI: 2.2-3.7); place of residence (rural; aRRR = 0.89; 95% CI 0.81-0.99), higher educational status (aRRR = 0.035;95%CI:0.61-0.98), grandmultipara (aRRR = 1.73;95%CI:1.6-1.9), and wealth index (poorer aRRR = 0.541;95%CI:0.46-0.631.9) were the factors significantly associated with the outcome variable.

CONCLUSIONS

In this, modern contraceptive utilization is low as compared to other countries. It was influenced by age, place of residence, education, the number of children, and wealth index. This suggests that creating awareness of contraceptive utilization is paramount for rural residence women by policymakers and health managers to empower women for family planning services. Moreover, all stakeholders, including governmental and nongovernmental organizations, better to emphasize on modern contraceptive use.

Modern contraceptive utilisation and its associated factors among reproductive age women in high fertility regions of Ethiopia: a multilevel analysis of Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey

OBJECTIVE

This study is aimed to assess the magnitude of modern contraceptives utilisation and associated factors among reproductive age women in high fertility regions of Ethiopia.

DESIGN

Cross-sectional study.

SETTING

High fertility regions of Ethiopian.

PARTICIPANTS

A total weighted sample of 3822 married reproductive age women.

METHODS

In this study, data were obtained from the recent Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys. A total weighted sample of 3822 women of reproductive age was included. A multilevel mixed-effect binary logistic regression model was fitted to identify the significant associated factors of modern contraceptive utilisation. Statistical significance was determined using adjusted OR (AOR) with 95% CI.

RESULTS

The overall modern contraceptive utilisation was 29.75% (95% CI 28.2% to 31.2%). Among the factors associated with utilisation were women's age 25-34 years (AOR 1.3; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.66) and ≥35 (AOR 1.71; 95% CI 1.37 to 2.70), husband's occupation (AOR 1.49; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.99), number of alive children: 1-4 (AOR 2.20; 95% CI 1.47 to 3.30), 5-8 (AOR 1.74; 95% CI 1.09 to 2.77), husband's desired number of children (AOR 0.77; 95% CI 0.61 to 0 .96), residency (AOR 2.37; 95% CI 1.20 to 4.67), community media exposure (AOR 1.77; 95% CI 1.01 to 3.08), region (AOR 0.13; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.52) and religion (AOR 0.49; 95% CI 0.36 to 0.66) were significantly associated with modern contraceptive utilisation.

CONCLUSION

Modern contraceptives utilisation in high fertility regions of Ethiopia was low. Women age, husband occupation, number of living children, husband's desired number of children, residency, community media exposure, region and religion were significantly associated with modern contraceptive utilisation. Therefore, to improve the utilisation of modern contraceptives, public health policy makers should consider creating awareness through mass media, male involvement in family planning, as well as family planning programmes, should be encouraged in rural areas.

Time to initiate postpartum modern contraceptives among pregnant women in Ambo Town, Central Ethiopia; Cox-proportional hazard regression analysis

BACKGROUND

Timing of postpartum family planning is crucial for maternal and child wellbeing by preventing unintended and closely spaced pregnancies. However, studies are limited on the time to use modern contraceptives in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to fill these gaps by assessing the time to initiate postpartum modern contraceptive and identifying its predictors among pregnant women in Ambo town, central Ethiopia.

METHODS

An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted among 356 pregnant women in Ambo town, Central Ethiopia. The data were analysed using STATA-16 software. Kaplan-Meier estimates were performed to explain time-to- modern contraceptive use. A Cox-proportional hazard regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors. The adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) with a 95% confidence interval was considered to declare a statistically significant association.

RESULTS

This study showed that the median survival time to initiate postpartum modern contraceptives was 6 months. In this study, the risk of modern contraceptive use was 2.13 times higher (AHR = 2.13; 95% CI: 1.02-4.45) among younger women, 1.44 times higher (AHR = 1.44; 95% CI: 1.09-2.66) among women with no desire for more children, and 2.25 times higher (AHR = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.02-4.95) among nulliparous women. However, it is 57% times lower (AHR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.32-0.94) among pregnant women with current unintended pregnancy.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The median survival time to initiate postpartum modern contraceptive was 6 months. Age of the women, desire for more children, parity and pregnancy status were found to be the significant predictors of time to initiate postpartum modern contraceptive. Therefore health care providers and concerned stakeholders should consider these factors to increase the uptake of the postpartum contraceptive methods.

Predictors of modern contraceptive use among reproductive age women in high fertility countries in sub-Saharan Africa: evidence from demographic and health surveys

BACKGROUND

The world's population has increased faster than expected due to high fertility rates, with sub-Saharan Africa accounting for most of the increase. Modern contraceptive use is the best option to reduce the high fertility rate. There is limited information on the prevalence of modern contraception and its predictors in sub-Saharan Africa's high-fertility countries. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence and predictors of modern contraception among reproductive-age women in high fertility countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

METHODS

We used Demographic and Health Survey data sets from the top 10 high fertility countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Stata version 16.0 software was used to analyze the data, and all statistical analyses were completed after the data had been weighted. Multilevel binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with modern contraceptive use. Adjusted odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval, and a p value < 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.

RESULTS

The prevalence of modern contraceptive use in all the countries considered in this study was 10.72% (95% CI 10.57, 10.87). In terms of the predictor variables, young aged women, those who had attended a primary or secondary level of formal education, women who received antenatal care follow up, women who reported distance to the health facility as not a big problem, and women from rich families were more likely to use modern contraceptives.

CONCLUSION

Only one in 10 women of reproductive age used modern contraceptive methods in high fertility countries in sub-Saharan Africa. To improve the use of modern contraceptives, governments and non-governmental organizations studied in the countries should intensify programs that focus on those women who are economically poor, those with no formal education, no media exposure, and those with no antenatal care follow up.

Individual and Community-Level Factors Associated With Intention to Use Contraceptives Among Reproductive Age Women in Sub-Saharan Africa

Objectives: The present study identifies factors that affect intention to use contraceptives among married women in countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted using Demographic and Health Surveys. A total of 334386 weighted sample women who were fecund were included in the analysis. Multi-level mixed-effect logistic regression analysis was fitted to identify individual and community level factors associated with intention to use contraceptives.

Results: The prevalence of intention to use contraceptives was 45.76%. Age, educational status, and wealth quintile were factors affecting the intention to use contraceptives.

Conclusion: Several individual and community level factors were associated with the intention to use contraceptives in SSA. Therefore, governmental and non-governmental organizations should consider these factors when implementing strategies.

Trends and Factors Associated with Oral Contraceptive Use among Korean Women

Although oral contraceptives (OC) are widely used, few national-level epidemiologic studies have evaluated the prevalence of OC use and factors related to their use in Korea. We performed a population-based cross-sectional study on OC use by premenopausal women aged 20–59 years residing in Korea. We used secondary data from the 2010–2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to examine trends in the annual prevalence of OC use between 2010 and 2019, and factors influencing OC use. Based on data from 14,386 premenopausal women, the average annual prevalence of OC use was 8.2–10.7% between 2010 and 2014; it increased to 12.6–14.4% during 2015–2019. The prevalence of OC use was significantly higher in women with higher (≥5) than lower gravidity (<5). In addition, among sociodemographic factors, education level, household income, cigarette smoking, and alcohol drinking were significantly associated with OC use in Korean women. As OC use is affected by sociodemographic factors, a contraceptive plan that considers sociodemographic factors is needed to establish an effective family planning policy.

Association of Effective Spousal Family Planning Communication with Couples' Modern Contraceptive Use in Harar, Eastern Ethiopia

BACKGROUND

Spousal family planning communication plays an important role in making better reproductive health decisions and in increasing the use of modern contraceptive methods. The objective of the current study is to examine the association of spousal family planning communication in its broader context with current modern contraceptive use among couples.

METHODS

A community based cross-sectional survey was conducted in twelve kebeles of Harar Urban Health and Demographic Surveillance System. A total of 2700 currently married couples of whose wives were in the reproductive age participated in the study. The selection of the study participants was made using simple random sampling and data were collected using an interviewer administered structured questionnaire and analyzed using Stata version 12.

RESULTS

The level of current modern contraceptive use was 57.1% (95% CI: 0.53, 3.39). Effective spousal family planning communication was significantly associated with current modern contraceptive use even after controlling for socio-economic and demographic variables. Socio-economic and demographic variables such as religion of couples, number of couples' living children, household monthly income, couples' family planning approval and women's counseling about family planning by health workers were significantly associated with current modern contraceptive use.

CONCLUSION

Policies and programs aimed at increasing contraceptive prevalence should properly address the importance of spousal communication about family planning and integrate men into family planning programs to facilitate and enhance couples communication skills.

Factors associated with modern family planning use among women living with HIV who attended care and treatment clinics in Jigjiga town, Eastern Ethiopia

Background

Family planning helps to reduce the number of high-risk births and prevent unplanned pregnancies and mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The main purpose of this study was to determine the usage of family planning and its associated factors among women living with HIV who attended care and treatment clinics.

Methods

This was a health facility-based cross-sectional study conducted among 332 sexually active reproductive-age women living with HIV who visited care and treatment clinics from 15 April and 15 June 2017. We used a systematic sampling technique for sample selection. The data were collected using pretested and structured questionnaires through face-to-face interviews. Seriously ill women living with HIV who were unable to respond to the questionnaire and refused to participate were excluded from this study. Logistic regression was fitted, and an odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval with a p value less than 0.05 was used to identify factors associated with modern family planning use.

Result

The study revealed that the overall use of the modern family planning method was 56.3%, and the most common method used was injectable (37.4%) followed by implants (28.9%). About 19% of the users reported dual contraceptive use. About 58% got family planning from antiretroviral therapy clinics. Almost all the women (97.6%) had heard of seven modern family planning methods. Desire to have another child was the most common (79.7%) reason for not using family planning. Women who attended primary/secondary education (adjusted odds ratio: 2.61; 95% confidence interval: 1.29-5.28], who had no future fertility desire (adjusted odds ratio: 2.94; 95% confidence interval: 1.51-5.73), who had discussed family planning with their husband (adjusted odds ratio: 2.06; 95% confidence interval: 1.04-4.10), and who were counseled by the antiretroviral therapy provider about family planning (adjusted odds ratio: 4.53; 95% confidence interval: 1.70-12.06) were more likely to use family planning methods than their counterparts.

Conclusion

The results of this study revealed that the use of modern family planning was low. There is a high frequency of implant usage, fear of mother-to-child transmission as a motivator for family planning usage, and low dual method usage. Hence, improving women's education, involving husbands, and consistent family planning counseling by antiretroviral therapy providers are promising strategies to improve the uptake of modern family planning by women living with HIV.

Predictors of modern contraceptive use among adolescent girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa: a mixed effects multilevel analysis of data from 29 demographic and health surveys

Background

The use of modern contraceptives among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains an issue that needs urgent attention. This present study assesses the individual and contextual factors associated with modern contraceptive use among AGYW in SSA.

Methods

Data for this study was obtained from the latest Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted between January 2010 and December 2018 across 29 countries in SSA. Data were analysed with Stata version 14.2 by employing both Pearson’s chi-square test of independence and a multilevel binary logistic regression. The selection of variables for the multilevel models was based on their statistical significance at the chi-square test at a p < 0.05. Model fitness for the multilevel models was checked using the log likelihood ratios and Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC) and the results were presented using adjusted odds ratios (aOR) at 95% confidence interval (CI).

Results

It was found that 24.7% of AGYW in SSA use modern contraceptives. In terms of the individual level factors, the study showed that AGYW aged 15–19 [aOR = 0.86, CI = 0.83–0.90], those who were married [aOR = 0.83, CI = 0.79–0.87], Muslims [aOR = 0.59, CI = 0.57–0.62], working [aOR = 0.92, CI = 0.89–0.95], those who had no child [aOR = 0.44, CI = 0.42–0.47], those who had no exposure to newspaper/magazine [aOR = 0.44, CI = 0.63–0.71] and radio [aOR = 0.82, CI = 0.78–0.86] had lower odds of using modern contraceptives. Conversely, the use of modern contraceptives was high among AGYW whose age at first sex was 15–19 years [aOR = 1.20, CI = 1.12–1.28]. With the contextual factors, the odds of using modern contraceptives was low among AGYW who lived in rural areas [aOR = 0.89, CI = 0.85–0.93] and in communities with low literacy level [aOR = 0.73, CI = 0.70–0.77] and low socio-economic status [aOR = 0.69, CI = 0.65–0.73].

Conclusion

Several individual and contextual factors are associated with modern contraceptive use among AGYW in SSA. Therefore, Governments in the various countries considered in this study should intensify mass education on the use of modern contraceptives. This education should be more centered on AGYW who are in socio-economically disadvantaged communities, those who are not married, Muslims, those with high parity and high fertility preferences and those who are working.

Utilization Pattern of Long-Acting and Permanent Family Planning Methods and Associated Factors: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study in Ethiopia

Background

Long-acting and permanent family planning methods (LAPMs) are modern contraceptive methods that can prevent pregnancy for greater than one year and include long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (LARCs) (Intrauterine device and subdermal implants), and permanent contraceptive methods (Tubal ligation and Vasectomy). The current study aimed to assess the utilization pattern of long-acting and permanent contraceptive methods and factors associated with their utilization in Lay-Armachiho district, Amhara regional state, Ethiopia.

Methods

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected by using an interview method and the collected data were entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. Both binary logistics and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to analyze predictive variables with the utilization of contraceptives. A 95% confidence interval (CI) and a P-value of <0.05 were used to declare statistical significance.

Results

A total of 460 women have participated in the study. The proportion of women that utilize long-acting and permanent contraceptives was found to be 65.4%. Educational statuses, residence, attitude towards long-acting contraceptives, discussion, and joint decision-making with their spouse were factors significantly associated with the utilization of long-acting contraceptive methods.

Conclusion

The current study showed that there is high utilization of LAPMs. Women’s attitude, educational status, residency, frequent discussions, and a joint decision with their partners about LAPMs were significantly associated with the utilization of long-acting and permanent contraceptives. There is a significant impact of husbands (sexual partners) on the utilization and choice of contraceptive methods by women.

Modern Contraceptive Use and Influencing Factors in Amhara Regional State: Further Analysis of Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey Data 2016

Background. Ethiopia is one of the Sub-Saharan African countries with a high unmet need for contraceptives. Contraception is a good indicator of the extent to which couples have access to reproductive health services. A study on contraceptives can provide overall direction by helping to identify the obstacles in society and weaknesses in services that need to be overcome. However, little is known in Amhara region context. Therefore, this analysis was aimed to assess modern contraceptive use and influencing factors in the Amhara regional state of Ethiopia. Methods. We used secondary data analysis of the regional representative sample of women aged 15–49 years from the 2016 Ethiopian Demography and Health Survey (EDHS). A total of 2207 married reproductive-age women (15–49 years) selected using a two-stage stratified cluster sampling technique were included in this analysis. Both descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed using STATA V.14. A 95% confidence interval was used to declare statistical significance. Results. Modern contraceptive use among married reproductive-age women was 51.3% (95% CI: 47.0–55.6). Being from households with rich wealth index (AOR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1–2.5), a secondary or higher level of education (AOR = 3.0; 95% CI: 1.4–6.2), and desire to space (AOR = 2.6; 95% CI: 1.9–3.7) or want no more child (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.6–3.5) were found positively associated with modern contraceptive use. On the other hand, modern contraceptive use was negatively associated with women aged 35–49 years (AOR = 0.7; 95% CI: 0.5–0.9). Conclusion. Modern contraceptive use was relatively high in the Amhara region. The odds of modern contraceptive use were higher among women with secondary or more educational levels. Women from households with rich wealth index and those who want to delay or avoid pregnancy had also more odds of using modern contraceptives. Therefore, strengthening women’s and community education could improve modern contraceptive use. Moreover, more emphasis should be given for income generation activities.

Modern Contraceptive Method Utilization and Associated Factors Among Women of Reproductive Age in Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia

Background

Family planning is defined as the ability of couples or individuals to attain their desired number of children, spacing, and timing of their births with the use of contraceptive methods. Ethiopia is one of the most populated countries in Africa with a high fertility rate, a highly unmet need for family planning, and low contraceptive utilization.

Objective

This study aims to assess modern contraceptive method utilization and associated factors among women of reproductive age in Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia.

Materials and Methods

A community-based cross-sectional study design was undertaken with 708 women in the reproductive age in Gondar City, using a structured questionnaire combined with face-to-face interviews. Descriptive analysis, binary, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were applied to analyze the data.

Results

In this study, 41.2% of the respondents utilized modern contraceptive methods. Of the study participants, 52.1 % had good knowledge and 45.3% had a favorable attitude towards modern contraceptive methods. After adjusting for covariates, the odds of using modern contraceptive methods were 3.6 times, 4.7 times, 2.4 times, and 4 times higher among women of the age 20–24, 25–29, preparatory education, and degree holders, respectively. In addition, for the women having up to six desired children [AOR (Adjusted Odds Ratio) = 2.4 (95% CI: 1.1, 5.3)], a history of no-child death experience [AOR= 4.4 (95% CI: 1.03, 19.1)], good knowledge [AOR= 4.1 (95% CI: 2.7, 6.0)], and favorable attitude [AOR= 3.5 (95% CI: 2.4, 5.1)] were positively associated with modern contraceptive utilization.

Conclusion

The majority of participants had good knowledge about, but the unfavorable attitude towards the utilization of modern contraceptive methods. Therefore, the authors recommended that special awareness creation with the help of health education interventions should be employed in the community.

Utilization of Family Planning Methods and Associated Factors Among Reproductive-Age Women with Disability in Arba Minch Town, Southern Ethiopia

Introduction

Globally in 2019, there were 1.9 billion reproductive-age women. Around 922 million of them were using either modern or traditional methods of family planning. Women with disabilities comprise 10% of worldwide women and three-quarters of them reside in low- and middle-income countries.

Objective

The purpose of this study was designed to assess the magnitude and associated factors for family planning methods use among reproductive-age women with disabilities in Arba Minch town, southern Ethiopia.

Patients and Methods

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 418 reproductive-age women with disabilities. Data were collected with eight women who had completed grade 12 and two of them were proficient in sign language. The data were entered into Epi-info™ version-7 software and exported into SPSS version 20 for analysis. A statistically significant variable in the final model was declared by adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value <0.05.

Results

The magnitude of family planning utilization among reproductive-age women with disabilities was 33.7%. Factors significantly associated with family planning use were being employed (AOR: 2.2, CI: 1.77–4.15), having positive attitudes (AOR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.21–3.87) and marital status (AOR: 3.9, 95% CI: 2.31–6.63).

Conclusion

The magnitude of family planning use among reproductive women with disabilities was low. Attitude, marital status, and being employed were significantly associated factors with family planning use. Therefore, the governmental and non-governmental organizations should work to change their attitude and creating job opportunities.
