Background: Contraceptives are the most effective strategies to prevent unwanted pregnancies and their consequences. Realizing the intention to use contraceptives is a crucial stage to draft and implement a successful family planning program. Objective: This study aimed to identify individual and community-level factors affecting the intention of women to use contraceptives in Ethiopia. Method: This study was based on a large national survey, Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. A total weighted sample of 6,555 married/in union reproductive-age women were included. Because of the hierarchical nature of the DHS data, a multilevel logistic regression model was used to study individual and community-level factors that may influence intention to contraceptive use. A 95% confidence interval and a p-value of less than 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. Result: The overall intention to use contraceptives was 48.63% (95% CI 47.42, 49.84). Participants age range of 25-34 years (AOR = 0.42, 95 CI% (0.22, 0.79)) and 35-49 years (AOR = 0.12, 95% CI: (0.05, 0.28)), husband with primary education (AOR = 1.60, 95% CI: (1.02, 2.50)), heard of contraceptives from their community (AOR = 1.91. 95% CI: (1.29, 2.83)), ever used contraceptives (AOR = 4.48, 95% CI: (2.91, 6.88)) and having six or more children (AOR = 0.46, 95% CI: (0.23, 0.9)) were individual factors significantly associated with interceptive intention. From community level factors, high community family planning utilization rate (AOR = 2.29, 95% CI: (1.36,3.86)) was associated with intention to use contraceptive. Conclusion: More than half of married women were not intended to use contraceptives. Intention to use contraceptives was affected by individual and community level attributes. Thus, public health interventions particularly that could increase information dissemination regarding contraceptives among the communities and enhance community-level contraceptive utilization rates are required at the national level to improve contraceptive utilization.

“…The finding of this study revealed about 45% of study participants were discussed with their wives. This result is consistent with the studies conducted in south eastern zone of Tigray [ 27 ], Harar, Eastern Ethiopia [ 30 ], Angolela Tera District [ 31 ], Womberma District, Northern Ethiopia [ 32 ] a rural community of Western Ethiopia [ 33 ] in Bangladesh [ 34 ], in Angecha Woreda, Kembata Tembaro Zone [ 35 ] and in rural areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria [ 36 ] had showed that those who communicate with their wives were more predisposed towards use of contraceptive methods. In the present study almost 60% of men supported their wives, which is in line with the study conducted Womberma District, Northern Ethiopia [ 32 ], but lower than other study findings in Hossana Town, Southern Ethiopia [ 24 ] and eastern zone of Tigray, Ethiopia [ 27 ].…”

Bi-variable and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were done to identify factors associated with participation of men in family planning. Results from 382 currently married men who were interviewed, 366 were responded to the questionnaires making the response rate of 96%. The mean age of the participants was 34 (± 6.1) years. Majority of the participants were Kembata 311 (85%) by ethnicity and Protestant 257 (70.2%) by religion.

“…In this study, more than half of the study participants, had poor knowledge about family planning services. Knowledge level of men on FP services amongst respondents in the current study is lower than that reported in previous studies done in the northern part of Nigeria (63.5%) and in Ethiopia (58.4%) (16,17). This may be connected to the fact that most family planning activities in the recent past, focused majorly on women (18).…”

“…However, there was no statistically significant association between the perception of the respondents about family planning and their utilization of FP services (÷2 = 1.207, p = 0.272). (Table 5) male participation but also provide appropriate support to their partner's family planning choices and subsequent utilization of FP services (17,27). Consequent enormous financial burden and responsibilities placed on men with large families may be a reason for this.…”

Background: Men play crucial roles in the utilization of family planning services hence, ensuring their commitment to these services is essential for increasing family planning uptake. This study therefore, assessed the level of male participation in family planning services utilization and its associated factors in Ondo west LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria. Methods: The study utilized a community-based cross-sectional design. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 433 eligible respondents. Quantitative data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23; bivariate and multivariate analyses were done using Chi-square and binary logistic regression respectively at 5% level of significance.Results: 55% and 48.5% of the study participants, had poor knowledge and perception about family planning services respectively. At bivariate level, there were statistically significant associations between age (p = 0.046), number of children (p < 0.001), level of education (p = 0.023), and the utilization of FP services by the respondents. Conclusion: The knowledge of the respondents about FP services was poor and if unaddressed, could infringe upon the rights of their spouses to access such services. Increasing male participation may require targeting married men for educational interventions. French title: Participation des hommes à la planification familiale : un potentiel inexploité pour accroître l'utilisation des services de planification familiale à Ondo, dans le sud-ouest du Nigéria Contexte général de l'étude : Les hommes jouent un rôle important dans l'utilisation des services de planification familiale, par conséquent, obtenir leur engagement envers ces services est essentiel pour augmenter l'adoption de la planification familiale. Par conséquent, cette étude a évalué le niveau de participation des hommes dans l'utilisation des services de planification familiale et ses facteurs associés à Ondo West, Ondo State, Nigéria.Méthode de l'étude : Une étude transversale communautaire, les répondants étant des hommes mariés. Une technique d'échantillonnage à plusieurs degrés a été utilisée pour sélectionner 433 répondants admissibles. Les données ont été recueillies à l'aide de questionnaires semi-structurés. Les données ont été analysées à l'aide d'IBM SPSS version 23 ; des analyses bi variées et multi variées ont été effectuées en utilisant respectivement une régression logistique du chi carré et binaire à un niveau de signification de 5%.Résultat de l'étude : Environ 55 % et 48,5 % des participants à l'étude avaient respectivement une connaissance et une perception médiocres des services de planification familiale. Au niveau bi varié, il y avait des associations statistiquement significatives entre l'âge (p = 0,046), le nombre d'enfants (p < 0,001), le niveau d'éducation (p = 0,023) et l'utilisation des services de PF par les répondants.Conclusion : La connaissance des répondants sur les services de PF est faible et si elle n'est pas prise en compte, elle pourrait porter atteinte aux droits de leurs conjoints à de tels services. L'augmentation de la participation des hommes peut nécessiter de cibler les hommes mariés pour les interventions éducatives.
