Abstract Abstract Objective: In Ethiopia majority of married women practice predominantly short acting contraceptive methods. Therefore the aim of this study is 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. Intention to use LAPMs was low. Therefore, appropriate information, education and communication strategies must be designed to raise awareness and change negative attitude of the community on LAPMs. Key words: LAPMs, intention to use, factors, Axum, Ethiopia

Abstract Background Long-acting and permanent contraceptive methods have clear advantages over short-acting methods of contraception that benefit both clients and health systems. Despite this importance, studies show that the proportion of women currently using long acting and permanent contraceptive methods are significantly lower than the proportion using short-acting methods. Objective The main aim of the study was to assess the level of utilization of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods and associated factors among married women in Adama town. Methodology Community Based Cross-Sectional Study was conducted in four kebeles of Adama town from April 15–30, 2015. Multistage sampling technique was used to select the study participants. The collected data was cleaned and entered using Epi info 3.5.3 and analyzed using statistical package for social science version 20.0. Factors associated with utilization of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods were identified using logistic regression model. Result In this study, the magnitude of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods was 20.9%. Implant, Intra-Uterine devices (IUDs) and tubal ligation accounted for 16.1, 4.6, and 0.2% respectively. Current use of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods was higher among women who had high knowledge (AOR = 5.26, 95% CI = 1.90–14.69), positive attitude (AOR = 3.25, 95% CI = 1.60–6.58) and women who had 3–4 children (AOR [95%CI] =2.3[1.14–4.63]) compared to those who had no child. Conclusion Current use of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods in Adama town was low. Level of knowledge, attitude about the methods, and number of children were factors affecting utilization of long acting and permanent contraceptive methods. Targeted Information Education Communication Intervention should be intensified to improve the utilization of these methods.

Abstract Objective Despite its effectiveness, the intention and utilization of long acting contraceptive methods is very low in many developing countries and the use of long acting contraceptive methods has not kept in pace with that of short-acting methods such as, oral contraceptives and injectables.Result The magnitude of intention to use long acting contraceptive methods was 39.8%. Intention to use long acting contraceptive methods was higher for women whose husbands were farmers when compared to women whose husbands were government employees (β = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.41, 0.72). Number of children wanted (β = − 0.19, 95%CI: -0.28, -0.1), attitude (β = 0.34, CI: 0.23, 0.46), subjective norm (β = 19, 95%CI: 0.12, 0.27) and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.18, 95%CI: 0.06, 0.3) were factors significantly associated with intention to use long acting contraceptive methods. Intention to use long acting contraceptive methods was low. Interventions that focus on women’s attitude towards long acting contraceptive methods and support group, peer education, social mobilization and persuasive communication could promote intention to use long acting contraceptive methods.

Background. Long-acting contraceptive methods, subdermal implants, and intrauterine devices are reliable, safe, and cost-effective family planning methods. However, these methods are not widely used in Ethiopia despite government effort to increase access. The study is aimed at assessing the rate of utilization of long-acting contraceptive methods among married women and associated factors. Method. We analyzed the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey dataset. A total of 2045 married women of reproductive age group, who were using any modern contraceptive method at the time of the survey, were included in the study. Descriptive statistics were computed to characterize the study participants. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify associated factors, reporting odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Result. The multivariable analyses showed that women educational status, parity, religion, previous history of abortion, desire for more child, and region where the respondents reside were significantly the factors that determine the utilization of long-acting contraceptive. There is a significant regional disparity in long-acting contraceptive utilization. Compared to women residing in Tigray region, those who live in other regions (Afar-Somali, Oromia, Amhara, Benishangul Gumz-Gambela, and Southern Nations Nationalities and People) have low likelihood of using long-acting contraceptive methods. Conclusion. Utilization of long-acting family planning method is low in Ethiopia. There is a significant regional disparity in utilizing these methods. Policy makers should promote culture-sensitive and tailored interventions to improve the utilization of long-acting family planning methods.

Abstract Background: Modern contraceptive methods have immense influences on the health of mothers and their children. Using contraceptive methods is seen to control family size and unnecessary pregnancies. And it leads to peaceful and known family status. Considering different factors like resources and various cultural aspects, assessing the intention to use might bring areas with these problems into the light to act on them. Methods: We used multilevel logistic regression and spatial analysis techniques to the data from the 2016 Ethiopian demographic health survey. We downloaded the data from the EDHS website after the approval of the request for the data. We pooled the data to assess the intention to use contraceptive methods among 15-49 age women. After applying bivariate and multilevel binary logistic regression, we presented the information on Community and Individual level using tables, figures, and spatial distribution. We applied a p-value <0.05 and adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).Result: the intention to use contraceptive methods was 44.11%. Spatially, we found intention to use contraception highly clustered in North and Western Ethiopia. The average number of children (4.5±2.9), age at first cohabitation (16.9±3.99), and the ideal number of children (4.77±2.0). Some other factors associated with intention to use contraceptive methods were age, education, the information was given by health facility, age at first cohabitation, the ideal number of children, Wealth status, and Regions that were significant.Conclusion: We observed various distributions among regions. Education status and various socio-cultural aspects need serious considerations to increase the intention to use contraceptive methods. Besides the efforts done, policy decisions might need to consider this finding and uphill the intervention against associated factors like socio-cultural and demographic variables in those areas.
