Abstract Objective: In Ethiopia, the majority of married women practice predominantly short-acting contraceptive methods. Therefore this study aims to assess intention to use LAPMs and its determinants among short-acting users in Health Institutions of Aksum Town, North Ethiopia. Results: Prevalence of intention to use LAPMs was 52.1% (95% CI: 47.4-57.0). Good knowledge on LAPMs [AOR=2.15; 95% CI (1.29,3.56)], positive attitude towards LAPMs [AOR=3.41; 95% CI (1.99,5.85)], 18-24 years of age [AOR=3.18; 95% CI (1.30,7.79)], being primary school in educational level [AOR=0.34; 95% CI (0.14,0.78)], decision on the number of children jointly with partner [AOR=2.05; 95% CI (1.01,4.18)], having more than two children [AOR=10.67; 95% CI (1.29,88.31)], and no [AOR=10.21; 95% CI (3.10,33.58)] and one [AOR=4.70; 95% CI (1.68,13.13)] extra number of children desired were factors significantly associated with having intention to use LAPMs compared to their counterparts. The intention to use LAPMs was low. Therefore, appropriate information, education and communication strategies must be designed to raise awareness and change the negative attitude of the community on LAPMs. Keywords: LAPMs, intention to use, factors, Axum, Ethiopia

Background. Long acting and permanent contraceptive methods have the potential to reduce unintended pregnancies but the contraceptive choice and utilization in Ethiopia are highly dominated by short term contraceptives. Objective. To assess the knowledge and perception on long acting and permanent contraceptives of married women and men in Northern Ethiopia. Method. A qualitative method was conducted in Adigrat on January, 2012. Four focus group discussions with married women and men and six in-depth interviews with family planning providers were conducted. Content analysis was used to synthesize the data. Result. Participants’ knowledge on long acting and permanent contraceptives is limited to recognizing the name of the methods. Most of the participants are not able to identify permanent methods as a method of contraception. They lack basic information on how these methods work and how they can use it. Women had fears and rumors about each of these methods. They prefer methods which do not require any procedure. Family planning providers stated as they have weakness on counseling of all contraceptive choices. Conclusion. There are personal barriers and knowledge gaps on these contraceptive methods. Improving the counseling service program can help women to increase knowledge and avoid misconceptions of each contraceptive choice.
