Abstract
Background Modern contraceptive methods are the prominent fertility regulation strategies that play crucial role in reducing maternal, infant and child mortalities. They contribute a lot in poverty reduction and have substantial impact on social, economic, political, and environmental issues. Objective: To assess factors influencing use of modern contraceptive methods among currently married women. Method: Unmatched case control study was conducted from January to February 2010 in Dalle Woreda SNNPR, Ethiopia. The cases were currently married women who were registered by one of the health facilities in the study area and currently using modern contraceptive and the controls were currently married women who had visited one of the health facilities in the study area for reasons other than family planning and have not ever used modern contraception prior to the start of data collection. Result: A total of 283 contraceptive users and 283 non-users were interviewed. Among the variables analyzed, respondents’ age and age at first marriage did not show association with modern contraception practice. Couples who openly discuss about family planning (AOR 3.48 95% CI =1.77, 6.86) and decide to use modern contraceptive method (AOR 5.58, 95% CI =1.82, 17.11) were more likely to practice modern contraception. Wolayta ethnic group and catholic and other religion were less likely to practice modern contraceptives (AOR 0.26, 95 % CI= 0.12, 0.57, (AOR 0.23, 0.07, 0.72) respectively. Conclusion: Women empowerment through education and employment, awareness creation through IEC and especially using mass media message were recommended to increase modern contraceptive utilization.
