“…Evidence of community-based multi-component approaches consisting of counseling and life-skills training of young married women, and their husbands, family and community members as well as capacity building of health workers have been showing promising effectiveness in increasing contraceptive use and delaying pregnancy in resource-constrained settings [31, 32]. Recent findings from a decade of the PRACHAR Project in India, showed that a gender-synchronized intervention tailored to specific life stages and based on a socioecological model approach was effective in sustain behavioral change efforts to voluntary increase contraceptive use among young married couples in a conservative area [33]. However, much of the existing evidence comes from small-scale research studies and projects with limitations in their methodology and evaluation design [1, 31].…”

Background There is still a large gap in relation to effectively meet the contraceptive needs and family planning goals of adolescents. Our aim was to describe how having a partner and children impact on contraceptive behavior of sexually active female adolescents from low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods Analyses were based on the most recent Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indicator Surveys carried out since 2005 in 73 LMICs with available data for sexually active women aged 15–19 years. Modern contraceptive prevalence and demand for family planning satisfied with modern methods of contraception (mDFPS) were estimated among three subgroups of adolescents considering their parity and marital status- not married, married without children, and married with children – at national and regional levels. Results Female adolescents who were married with no children presented the lowest median modern contraceptive prevalence in all world regions, ranging from 2.9% in West & Central Africa to 29.0% in Latin America & Caribbean. Regarding mDFPS, the lowest coverage for married adolescents without children was found in West & Central Africa (12.6%), whereas Latin America & Caribbean presented the highest (50.4%). In East Asia & Pacific, not married adolescents were the group with the lowest mDFPS (17.1%). In 12 countries, mDFPS was below 10% among married adolescents without children: Angola, Chad, Congo, Congo DR, Guinea, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal in Africa, Philippines and Timor-Leste in Asia and Guyana in Latin America & Caribbean. Conclusions In most countries, modern contraceptive prevalence and mDFPS were particularly low among married female adolescents without children, which should be considered a priority group for intervention. The findings suggest that social norms regarding marriage and fertility expectations and other cultural barriers have a role at least as relevant as contraceptive availability. All these aspects need to be considered in the design of family planning strategies to effectively increase modern contraceptive use among adolescents everywhere, particularly in conservative contexts.

“…In developing country little published evidence about married young womenand their partners to address the social and behavioral constraints to contraceptive use. So it is important to learn from the few rigorously documented and evaluated projects that have worked with married young women (13). Overall, only 52.9% of the women in were using a modern contraceptive method globally, but coverage varied greatly.…”

Introduction: Despite increase in trend of modern contraceptive use in worldwide it was still low in developing country. In Ethiopia modern contraceptive utilization among young married women was low which shows gaps between women reproductive desire to avoid pregnancy and contraceptive behavior. This study showsvaration in modern contraceptive utilization and factor associated with it among young merried age group between 15-24 years in Ethiopia.Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the geographical varation of modern contraceptive utilization and associated factor among young married women aged between 15- 24 year in Ethiopia. Methods:In this study cross-sectional study design was conducted using Ethiopia demographic and health survey 2016 data. The sample size was 2298 young married women aged between 15-24 years.Geographical variation assessed by Spatial analysis using spatial autocorrelation Moran’s I, Gettis-OrdGi* and spatial scan statics to identify significant clusters of modern contraceptive utilization among young married women. Determinant factor for modern contraceptive use were analyzed using a two level-mixed-effects logistic regression model which include both the individual and community level factors.Result: In Ethiopia, prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization among young married women age group between 15-24 years was 36.7 %. Geographical varaition asessed by spatial scan statistics identified primary clusters of modern contraceptive utilization were all zone of Amhara, Addis Ababa and Shewa. In other hand,Gettis-OrdGi* analysisindicated zone 1 of Afar region, Borena zone of Oromia region and all zone of Somalia regions were low prevalencespot region. In this study religion, respondent working status, number of living children, husband desire more children, region, community mas media exposure and community educational level were statically significant variables for modern contraceptive utilization among young married women.Conclusions: There is low prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization among young married women and it was varied across zone of Ethiopia. High and low prevalence spot area, most likely cluster, community and individual level factor associated with modern contraceptive utilization is identified which is important to prioritize family planning strategythat focus particularly for young population segment. Therefore, exerting much effort on all of this area is supreme important as it has significant public health contributions.

In other hand, Gettis-OrdGi* analysis indicated zone 1 of Afar region, Borena zone of Oromia region and all zone of Somalia regions were low prevalence spot region. In this study religion, wealth index, religious, health facility visits within 12 months, husband desire more children, perception of distance from health facility, region, Community access to health services and community educational level were statically significant variables for modern contraceptive utilization.Conclusions: There is low prevalence of modern contraceptive utilization and it was varied across zone of Ethiopia. High and low prevalence spot area, most likely cluster, community and individual level factor associated with modern contraceptive utilization is identified which is important to prioritize family planning strategy. Therefore, exerting much effort on this area is supreme important as it has significant public health contributions.
