| dc.description.abstract | Background: Family planning and modern contraceptive use have relatively little attention to the roles that could be played among the youth regarding fertility regulation. Consequently, there is a shortage of information on modern contraceptive use as regards to knowledge, attitudes and practices among the youth alongside future intentions, and their fertility preferences in Addis Ababa. Objective: To identify current modern contraceptive use, intention to use in the future and determinant factors among the youth population of 15 to 24 years in Addis Ababa Methods: The study used a community-based cross-sectional quantitative survey conducted from July 2018 to June 2019 in Addis Ababa. A total of 552 youth within the ages of 15-24 years were included in the study through multi-stage random sampling technique. Data were collected through structured pre tested questionnaire. Data were entered into Epidata 4.4.3.1 and analyzed by using SPSS version 23 for windows. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, median were used to summarize the results. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were done. Quantitative data were summarized by using tables. Results: Main source of information was the media, 407(82.9 %) which formed the highest. Out of 522 participants, Two hundred eighty eight (52.2%) are ever users, 249(45.1%) are current users, and 264(47.8%) are never users of modern contraceptives. In multiple logistic regression analysis, age, having a partner, discussion with partner or spouse, was significantly associated with current modern contraceptive use. Conclusions: The study showed a high prevalence of knowledge of contraceptive methods among the youth, and high intention to use in the future. Age group 15 to 19 years had high level of modern contraceptive use. Generally current use of modern contraceptives methods is below fifty percent (45.1%) which is below the Government target goal in Addis Ababa. Family planning/modern contraceptives programs should focus on having partners, spousal discussion; encourage youth ages 19 to 24 years to use modern contraceptives and more media advocacy on modern contraceptive | en_US |
