Spatial and multi-level analysis of factors associated with long-acting reversible modern contraceptive use among married women in Ethiopia
Age, educational attainment, community-level female education, community-level wealth, and region were identified as significant predictors of Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) use. Based on these findings, it is recommended that policies be implemented to enhance women's education across various levels of the population. Special attention should be directed towards the most economically disadvantaged population, and efforts should focus on strengthening the health-seeking behaviors of the people. To improve contraceptive rates, regions with low utilization should be targeted for the expansion of tailored services that align with the lifestyles of their populations.
