Abstract Background: Sexual and reproductive health and right of young people is a global priority as the reproductive choices made by them have a massive impact on their health and wellbeing, education and economy. Teenage pregnancy is a public health issue and a demographic challenge in Ethiopia. The use of contraceptive method is a most effective way for sexually active adolescent to prevent pregnancy and its related complication. However, little is known about the trends in contraceptive use and its determinant among adolescent girls in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the trends and correlates of contraceptive use among sexually active girls aged 15-19 years in Ethiopia by using Ethiopian demographic and health survey data. Methods: Four Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used to examine trends of contraceptive methods use. To identify factors associated with contraceptive use, the 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used. The data was accessed from the demographic and health survey program database and data for sexually active adolescent girls were extracted. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 21. Data were weighted for analysis. Descriptive analysis was used to describe independent variables of the study. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with contraceptive use.Results: Contraceptive method use was increased significantly from 6.9% in 2000 to 39.6% in 2016 among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia. The odds of contraceptive use were lower among female adolescent who had no formal education (AOR= 0.044; 95% CI= 0.008–0.231) and attended primary education (AOR= 0.101; 95% CI= 0.024–0.414). But the odds of contraceptive methods use were higher among adolescents in rich wealth status (AOR= 3.662; 95% CI =1.353–9.913) and those who were told about family planning during their health facility visits (AOR= 3.115; 95% CI= 1.385–7.007).Conclusion: Contraceptive method use was increased significantly among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia in the year 2000 to 2016. Wealth status, educational status and information about family planning during their health facility visits were factors associated with contraceptive use. Improving economic and educational status of young women may help in improving contraceptive use in Ethiopia.

Abstract Background Sexual and reproductive health and right of adolescents is a global priority as the reproductive choices made by them have a massive impact on their health, wellbeing, education, and economy. Teenage pregnancy is a public health issue and a demographic challenge in Ethiopia. Increasing access to contraceptive services for sexually active adolescents will prevent pregnancies and related complications. However, little is known about the trends in contraceptive use and its determinants among adolescent girls in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the trends and factors associated with contraceptive use among sexually active girls aged 15–19 years in Ethiopia by using Ethiopian demographic and health survey data. Methods Four Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used to examine trends of contraceptive methods use. To identify factors associated with contraceptive use, the 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey data were used. The data was downloaded from the demographic and health survey program database and extracted for sexually active adolescent girls. Data were weighted for analysis and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Descriptive analysis was used to describe the independent variables of the study. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with contraceptive use and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were presented for significant variables. Variables with a p-value less than 0.05 were considered as significantly associated with contraceptive use. Results Contraceptive method use had increased significantly from 6.9% in 2000 to 39.6% in 2016 among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia. The odds of contraceptive use were lower among female adolescents who had no formal education (AOR 0.044; 95% CI 0.008–0.231) and attended primary education (AOR 0.101; 95% CI 0.024–0.414). But the odds were higher among adolescents from a wealthy background (AOR 3.662; 95% CI 1.353–9.913) and those who have visited health facilities and were informed about family planning (AOR 3.115; 95% CI 1.385–7.007). Conclusion There is an increment in the trend of contraceptive use among sexually active female adolescents in Ethiopia between 2000 and 2016. Significant variations in the use of modern contraception by wealth status, educational level and visited a health facility, and being informed about family planning were observed. Improving the economic and educational status of young women, and provision of information may help in improving contraceptive use in Ethiopia.

Abstract Background Background: Sexual and reproductive health of young people is a global priority. Access to sexual and reproductive health information and services determine the burden of adolescent and unwanted pregnancies. Teenage pregnancy that has profound effects on the health and wellbeing of young women across their life course is a burning public health and a demographic challenge in Ethiopia. Contraceptive use allows girls to postpone motherhood and space births. However, little is known about the trends in contraceptive use and its determinant among girls aged 15 to 19 in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was designed to examine the trends and correlates of contraceptive use among sexually active adolescents in Ethiopia by using Ethiopian demographic and health survey data.

The odds of contraceptive use were lower among female adolescent who had no formal education (AOR: .044; 95%CI: (.008 to 0.231), primary education (AOR:.101; 95%CI: 0.024 to 0.414). But the odds of contraceptive methods use were higher among adolescents of good life standard (rich) (AOR: 3.662; 95%CI: (1.353 to 9.913), and those who were told about family planning during their health facility visit (AOR: 3.115; 95%CI: 1.385 to 7.007) Conclusion: Contraceptive method use were increased significantly among sexually active adolescent girls in Ethiopia in the year 2000 to 2016.

Background:Anemia is an important public health problem affecting all age groups of the population. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with anemia among women of childbearing age in Rwanda and map their spatial variation.Methods:The 2014/15 Rwanda Demographic and Health survey data was used and the structured logistic regression model was fitted to the data, where fixed effects were modeled parametrically, non-linear effects were modeled non-parametrically using second order random walk priors and spatial effects were modeled using Markov Random field priors.Results:The prevalence of anemia among non-pregnant women of reproductive age was 18.9%. Women from the households which use water from the unprotected well had a higher risk of having anemia than a woman from the household where they use water piped into dwelling or yard. The risk of anemia was higher among underweight women and women living in households without toilet facilities. The anemia was less pronounced among the women using contraception, literate women, women from the households which use a bed net and living in rich households.Conclusion:The findings from this study highlighted the districts with the highest number of anemic women and this can help the policymakers and other public health institutions to design a specific programme targeting these districts in order to improve the health status and living conditions of these women. The findings also suggest an improvement of toilet facilities, bed net use and source of drinking water in affected households.
