Although preconception care is a key element of motherhood health care services, the package is ignored in developing countries including Ethiopia and has not been generally adopted and applied since its aim and purposes are not broadly unstated and incorporated. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to determine the level of preconception care use and its determinants among women in Debre Tabor Town Northwest Ethiopia. From November 1 to 30, 2020, a Community-based cross-sectional study was undertaken in Debre Tabor Town. Overall, 79 (15.8%) with 95% CI [12.6, 19] of women had a good level of practice on preconception care utilization. Age (35–49; AOR = 5.12, 95% CI [2.14, 9.98]), ante natal care (AOR = 8.78, 95% CI [2.66, 28.97]), history of adverse birth outcome (AOR = 4.89, 95% CI [3.09, 17.00]), presence of chronic disease (AOR = 7.51, 95% CI [2.33, 12.13]), and knowledge on preconception care (AOR = 3.55, 95% CI [1.57, 8.02]) were significantly associated with utilization of preconception care. Hence, the government and respective stakeholders must give establish on preconception care strategies and plan that covers all aspects of preconception care. Incorporation of the service with other maternal and child health service will be crucial when developing actual employment policies to scale up acceptance of preconception care.

Background Vasectomy is a safe and effective permanent contraceptive method. In Ethiopia, this method underutilized since the focus has been on contraceptive methods available for women rather than men. Few studies have examined this method in Ethiopia so far, so it is important to note that there is a lack of data about the method in the study area regarding married men’s knowledge and attitudes toward vasectomy. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study conducted from May 2 to June 2, 2021, at Arba Minch town. A simple random sampling technique used to select 624 study participants. Data collected via the face-to-face interview technique using a semi-structured and pretested questionnaire. Data entered in EpiData 3.1, cleaned, and analyzed using SPSS for Windows version 25.0. Descriptive statistics and bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. An adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% CI and a p-value < 0.05 estimated to identify statistically significant variables associated with knowledge and attitude towards vasectomy. Results From the total of 624 study subjects, 600 had completed the questionnaire, giving a response rate of 96.2%. From those who heard about vasectomy (36.8%), only 60.6% of men had good knowledge, and 48.4% had a positive attitude towards vasectomy. Men’s knowledge of vasectomy was significantly associated with college or university attendance (AOR = 4.05, 95% CI: 1.720–9.521), age 31–40 years (AOR = 2.308, 95% CI: 1.081–4.929), and age ≥41 years (AOR = 2.671, 95% CI: 1.159–6.156). Age ≥41 years (AOR=4.735 95% CI 2.015–11.129), age of last child (AOR=3.868 CI 1.554–9.632) and discussing family planning with wife (AOR=2.821 95% CI 1.559–5.105) were significantly associated with attitude of men towards vasectomy. Conclusion In this study area, six out of ten and half of the married men had good knowledge and a positive attitude towards vasectomy, respectively.

Background: Family planning programs have historically been focused on women. This has reinforced the misconception that family planning is largely a woman's responsibility, with the man playing a peripheral role. Vasectomies are a safe, effective, permanent, and cost-effective modern method of contraception which has poor global uptake in spite of its many benefits. Aim: This study aims to assess the knowledge, perception, and acceptance of vasectomy among male teachers in secondary schools in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire. A total of 178 male teachers were selected using a multistage random sampling technique. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 23, and the results were presented using tables. Chi-square test of proportion was used to test for association. Fisher's exact test was used where conditions for Chi-square test were not met. The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 37 ± 7.4 years. Only a small proportion of teachers (6.7%) had good knowledge on vasectomy. Only 5.6% of the teachers had a positive perception about vasectomy, and majority (92.1%) were unwilling to accept to carry out the procedure. The age of the teachers and number of children they had were found to have a statistically significant association with their acceptance of vasectomy (P = 0.004 and P < 0.0001, respectively). Conclusion: Majority of the respondents had poor knowledge and negative perception toward vasectomy with a lot of misconceptions. Acceptance of vasectomy was also poor. Intermittent awareness campaigns on family planning methods should be carried out in the community by the local government health authority, and vasectomy should be discussed in detail to improve awareness and dispel misconceptions.
