Abstract
This is a community-based cross-sectional comparative study conducted in Bahir-Dar town and periurban area in December 2002, North west Ethiopia with the purpose of assessing determinants related to modern contraceptive preference and KAP study among women of reproductive age group. A multistage sampling procedure was carried out to interview 892 women in both study areas. A pre -tested structured questionnaire complemented with focus group discussion were the main tools for data collection. The study revealed that there is statistically significant difference between Bahir-Dar town and periurban area by: age, marital status, education, occupation, family size, monthly income, age at first marriage and birth, number of current and desired number of children. Ninety eight per cent of women in urban and ninety six percent of women in the periurban area have heard of modern contraceptives. Among respondents 10% knew at least one method and 19% knew three methods. The most popular modern contraceptive were oral pill, injectable and Norplant. More than 90% of respondents approved modern contraceptive use and 85% of women intend to use modern contraceptive in the future in both study areas. The contraceptive prevalence rate in Bahir-Dar town was 37.7%, while in the periurban area it was 16.3%. Desire for more children in periurban and being single in urban were the major reason for non use of modern contraceptive methods, while desire for more children and preferred method is not available were the major reasons for use discontinuing in both study areas. Injectable was the most commonly preferred modern contraceptive (62.9%) both in urban and periurban followed by oral pill (30.1%) and Norplant (4.0 %) .In multivariate analysis statistically significant associations were seen between higher knowledge and age, marital status, education, occupation and currently using methods. Attitude towards modern contraceptives in relation to age, marital status, education, and currently practicing methods was found to be statistically significant. Practicing of modern contraceptive method also showed significant association with socio demographic variables. In the analysis of preference: - age, marital status, education, occupation, and number of children showed statistically significant association with preference of oral pill and injectable, while preference of Norplant showed statistically significant association with age, marital status and number of children. Improving the quality of family planning service to satisfy clients in their method of choice and improving the service in periurban area by organizing Community Based Distribution family planning program under government health institutions are recommended.
