Spatial variation and associated factors of unmet need for family planning among reproductive age women in Ethiopia, insights from 2021 PMA-Ethiopia data: multilevel logistic regression analysis
This study affirms the ongoing high prevalence of unmet need for family planning in Ethiopia. It identified women's age and parity as crucial factors correlated with unmet need for FP. Additionally, there exists an unequal distribution of the burden of unmet need for FP across the country. To address the varying reproductive health needs at different life stages and parity levels, the interventional plan needs to be based on women's age and the number of children they have. Moreover, location-tailored interventional plans should be employed to optimize family planning related service inequalities.
