Understanding women’s preferences for long-acting reversible contraceptives in Gondar, Ethiopia: a discrete choice experiment
Women's preferences for LARCs are influenced by provider type, side effects, and cost. Enhancing LARC services by prioritizing midwife-led delivery, addressing side effects such as heavy menstrual bleeding, and considering women's WTP can increase uptake. These findings highlight the need for affordable, user-centered contraceptive services in Ethiopia.
