    Back ground- “Reproductive health ... [implies that people] have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this last condition are the right of men and women to be informed and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family-planning of their choice ...” It is obvious that solutions are necessary to slow the rapid rate of population growth all over the world, in developing countries, as well as those in which people are not poverty stricken. One of the most popular solutions currently for decreasing the birth rate is to increase use of birth control and decrease nonuse rate. Objectives: To assess factors associated with non use of modern contraceptive methods among currently married women of reproductive age group (18-49 years age). Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Kirkos sub-city, Addis Ababa city Administration from November 2009-June2010. Both quantitative and qualitative data collection method were used. Focus group discussion will be a qualitative method to complement the finding of the quantitative study. Data entry, data cleaning and analysis will be done by EPI INFO version 6 and analysis will be done using SPSS version 11 statistical package. Results: Of the total respondents one hundred thirty three (16.1%) had ever used MCM and 272(32.8%) were never user of MCM. The current contraceptive prevalence was found to be 51.1%. Most women used Injectable and OCP. The main reasons for nonuse MCM were desire to have more children followed by medical problem. Of current non user 53.3% had intended to use MCM in the future. It was found that all women 828(99.9%) had information about MCM. The main source of information for MCM was health workers. In multivariate analysis, statistically significant association were found between MCM non use and respondent age, children ever born, educational status of respondents, husband educational status, occupation of respondent, source of information, and husband approval of MCM (PV < 0.05). Concussion: Current CPR is relatively low in the sub-city; MCM should be distributed at community level especially those non clinical methods by using urban health extension workers.

    Synthesis and Properties of Some Sulfonamide Group Containing Thiourea Derivatives
    (Addis Ababa Universty, 2007-07) Mulatu, Dejene; Vitally, Dubina
    In this work five N-arenesulphonyl-benzimidoyl-N’- thiourea derivatives were synthesized from intermediate of N-arenesulphonyl-benzimidoyl- rodanide (3) by reacting with different bascity of amines. Out of these derivatives compound 4,5 and 6 were synthesized by reacting rodanide (3) with aromatic amines (aniline and p-methyl aniline) and the rest of the two compounds ,compound 7 and 8, were synthesized by reacting of rodanide (3) with ammonia solution and glycine. Their structures were determined by using NMR and IR spectroscopic method. II
