Married Women's Decision‐Making Power on Family Planning Utilization and Associated Factors Among Married Women in Jeldu District, Ethiopia: An Implication for Women Empowerment
The results of this study show that married women's decision-making power regarding the use of family planning was generally poor. The decision-making power on the use of family planning was substantially associated with age, educational attainment, health knowledge, and existing family planning usage. Therefore, it is advised to increase women's decision-making power on family planning utilization by teaching them about their rights and bringing health services closer to the community.
