Abstract Background: Long acting and permanent contraceptive methods by far are the most effective, very safe and convenient methods than short acting contraceptive methods. But in less developed countries, use of long acting reversible contraceptive or permanent methods (LARCs/PMs) is very low. Therefore the aim of this study was to identify determinants of long acting contraceptive method utilization among HIV positive reproductive age women. Methods: An institutional based case control study was conducted among random sample of 354 HIV positive reproductive age women (total of 97.8% response rate) at Anti-Retroviral Therapy clinics from February 20 to March 20, 2019. Case to control ratio was 1:2. A structured questionnaire and information recorded from ART card review were used to collect the data. Each variable was entered in Bivariate analysis with dependent variables and those variables with P-value of ≤ 0.25 were included in the Multivariate analysis. Significance was determined at the level of P-value <0.05 with 95% CI of AOR. Results: A total of 354 (33.3% cases and 66.7% controls) HIV positive reproductive age women were interviewed with response rate of 97.8%. The study revealed being in age group of 39 and above [AOR=0.17, 95% CI (0.06, 0.48)], being divorced/separated and widowed [AOR=0.05, 95% CI (0.003, 0.61)], having supportive opinion and strongly supportive opinion regarding family planning service availability in ART clinic [AOR= 5.01, 95% CI (1.79, 14.07)], [AOR= 7.81, 95% CI (2.54, 24.01)] and having no future fertility intention [AOR= 7.03, 95% CI (2.73, 18.06)] were statistically significant determinants for long acting contraceptive method utilization. Conclusion: Woman in age group of 39 and above, having no future fertility intention and being divorced/separated and widowed was found to be determinants of long acting contraceptive method utilization among HIV positive reproductive age women. In addition our study support the WHO Strategic Considerations for Strengthening the Linkages between Family Planning and HIV/AIDS Policies, Programs, and Services.

Abstract Background: Long acting and permanent contraceptive methods by far are the most effective, very safe and convenient methods than short acting contraceptive methods. Dual protective which includes use of a reliable hormonal contraceptive method like LAPMs and a barrier method like using the male or female condom is encouraged to prevent further transmission of HIV. But in less developed countries, use of long acting reversible contraceptive or permanent methods (LARCs/PMs) is very low. Therefore the aim of this study was to identify determinants of long acting contraceptive method utilization among HIV positive reproductive age women. Methods: An institutional based case control study was conducted among random sample of 354 HIV positive reproductive age women (total of 97.8% response rate) at Anti-Retroviral Therapy clinics from February 20 to March 20, 2019. Case to control ratio was 1:2. A structured questionnaire and information recorded from ART card review were used to collect the data. Bivariate and Multivariable logistic regression analysis were performed in order to identify the factors significantly associated with long acting contraceptive method utilization at the level of significance of p value <0.25 with 95% CI of COR and <0.05 with 95% CI of AOR respectively.Results: A total of 354 (33.3% cases and 66.7% controls) HIV positive reproductive age women were interviewed with response rate of 97.8%. The study revealed being in age group of 39 and above [AOR=0.17, 95% CI (0.06, 0.48)], being divorced/separated and widowed [AOR=0.05, 95% CI (0.003, 0.61)], having supportive opinion and strongly supportive opinion regarding family planning service availability in ART clinic [AOR= 5.01, 95% CI (1.79, 14.07)], [AOR= 7.81, 95% CI (2.54, 24.01)] and having no future fertility intention [AOR= 7.03, 95% CI (2.73, 18.06)] were statistically significant determinants for long acting contraceptive method utilization.Conclusion: Woman in age group of 39 and above, having no future fertility intention and being divorced/separated and widowed was found to be determinants of long acting contraceptive method utilization among HIV positive reproductive age women.

Background: Ethiopia’s population is currently estimated to be 117,814,659 people and continues to have countries with the highest maternal mortality rates. Family planning is one of the most effective techniques for lowering mother and child mortality, in addition to limiting rapid population expansion. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess level and determinants of long-acting family planning method among reproductive age women in Harar, Eastern Ethiopia, 2021 Method: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 845 randomly selected reproductive age women. Data were collected by trained data collector using pretested structured questionnaire. Data were coded and entered into Epidata v.3 and analyzed using SPSS v.26 software. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used. Variable with p-value less than 0.05 was declared as statistically significant. Result: The prevalence of long-acting family planning method was 74.7%, while 53.6% and 46.4% was from rural and urban, respectively. The mean age of participants was 28.5 (± 5.6) years. Married women four times (AOR: 4.1; 95% CI: 1.6, 10.4) more likely to use long-acting family planning method than single women. Women with educated husband four times (AOR: 4.4; 95% CI: 1.8, 10.6) more likely to use long-acting family planning method than women with illiterate husband. Conclusion: There is high level of utilization of long-acting family planning. The women’s marital status, increased education level of husbands, increasing in age of women, intention to spacing birth, and having less than five children were found to significantly increase the utilization of long-acting family planning.

Abstract Background: Increasing access to family planning helps to ensure the reproductive right, decrease unintended pregnancy, improve health and nutritional status of children, reduction of maternal mortality and enhance longer birth spacing . There is continually low utilization of long acting and permanent contraceptive method among low and middle income countries. The aim of this study was to assess the Utilization of Long Acting and permanent Contraceptive methods and associated factor among Women of Reproductive Age in west Guji Zone.Methods: Mixed study design was conducted among women of reproductive age in West Guji Zone. Systematic random sampling method was used to select study subjects for the survey with sample size of 507. Descriptive was utilized to summarize the data while logistic regression to assess factors influencing the utilization of Long Acting and permanent Contraceptive methods use. Statistical significance was declared for variables outcomes of the P-value less than 0.05.Result: Current utilization of Long Acting And permanent Contraceptive methods at West Guji zone among reproductive aged group was 51.1%. More than median of participants had negative altitude (72.4%) and poor knowledge (57%) towards long acting and permanent contraceptive method. Educational status of women, number of alive children, acceptance of utilization of Long Acting And permanent Contraceptive methods , how treated by other staff and waiting time during service delivery are significant determinant factor of long acting and permanent family planning method. According to qualitative data, Myths and misconceptions about utilization of intrauterine contraceptive device and implants and negative altitude to ward Long Acting And permanent Contraceptive methods were major barriers to the use of Long Acting And permanent Contraceptive methods.Conclusion: Educational status, number of alive children ( Parity) , acceptance of Long Acting And permanent Contraceptive methods , how treated by other staff and waiting time to get the service are statistically significant predictors of utilization of long acting and permanent family planning methods.

Abstract Background Intimate partner violence is a serious global public health problem particularly in low-and middle-income countries such as Ethiopia where women's empowerment is limited. Despite the high prevalence of intimate partner violence in Ethiopia, there is limited evidence on the spatial distribution and determinants of intimate partner violence among reproductive-age women. Exploring the spatial distribution of intimate partner violence is crucial to identify hotspot areas of intimate partner violence to design targeted health care interventions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the spatial distribution and determinants of intimate partner violence among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. Methods A secondary data analysis was done based on the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) data. A total weighted sample of 6090 reproductive-age women were included in the study. The spatial scan statistical analysis was done to identify the significant hotspot areas of intimate partner violence. A multilevel binary logistic regression analysis was fitted to identify significant determinants of intimate partner violence. Deviance, Intra-cluster Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Median Odds Ratio, and Proportional Change in Variance (PCV) were used for model comparison as well as for checking model fitness. Variables with a p-value less than 0.2 were considered in the multivariable analysis. In the multivariable multilevel analysis, the Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were reported to declare statistical significance and strength of association between intimate partner violence and independent variables. Results The spatial analysis revealed that the spatial distribution of intimate partner violence was significantly varied across the country (Moran’s I = 0.1007, p-value < 0.0001). The SaTScan analysis identified a total of 192 significant clusters, of these 181 were primary clusters located in the Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, northwest Amhara, and west Oromia regions. In the multivariable multilevel analysis; women aged 45–49 years (AOR = 2.79, 95% CI 1.52–5.10), women attained secondary education (AOR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.38–0.98), women in the richest household (AOR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.35–0.97), > 10 family size (AOR = 3.85, 95% CI 1.41–10.54), and high community women empowerment (AOR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.49–0.8)) were significantly associated with intimate partner violence. Conclusions Intimate partner violence among reproductive-age women had significant spatial variation across the country. Women's age, education status, family size, community women empowerment, and wealth status were found significant determinants of intimate partner violence. Therefore, public health programs should design targeted interventions in identified hot spot areas to reduce the incidence of intimate partner violence. Besides, health programmers should scale up public health programs designed to enhance women's autonomy to reduce the incidence of intimate partner violence and its consequences.
