“…Family size is negatively associated with modern contraceptive utilization in women aged 15–24 years. This study was agreed with studies done in Ethiopia [ 66 ] and India [ 67 ]. This might be due to mothers with large families having less intention to use family planning because of a negative attitude towards contraception [ 68 ].…”

Introduction Utilization of modern contraceptives increases over time but it was still low and varies across ages among married youth woman. This study revealed the prevalence of modern contraceptives and its associated factors among younger and older married youth women. Methods A cross-sectional study design was applied to the sample of EMDHS 2019. Multilevel logistic regressions were carried out using STATA version 16 to identify the individual and community-level factors of modern contraceptive utilization. Adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval and variables with a p-value < 0.05 were considered to be significant determinants of modern contraceptive utilization. Result In the EMDHS 2019, a total of 3290 married women between ages 15 and 34 were included. Among these 1210 (36.7%) and 2080 (63%) women, they were age groups of 15–24 and 25–34 years, respectively. Modern contraceptive utilization among women aged 15–24 and 25–34 years was 54.23% and 52.6%, respectively. Injection is a commonly used modern contraceptive method. In this study, factors associated with modern contraceptive utilization among women aged 15–24 years include women who had primary education [AOR = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.02–4.83], who had three or more children in the household [AOR = 14.29; 95% CI: 1.61–126.25], Protestants [AOR = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.14–0.61], five to seven households [AOR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.17–0.69], and region [AOR = 6.98; 95%:2.30–21.16]. On other hand, factors associated with modern contraceptive utilization among women aged 25–34 were women who had one or two under-five children in the household [AOR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.03–2.68] and region [AOR = 3.54; 95%CI: 1.79–6.97]. Conclusions More than 50% of participants used modern contraceptives in both age groups and, the associated factor of modern contraceptive utilization varied among this age group. Health managers and policymakers need to consider age group, region, educational status, religion, and fertility level in planning of family planning program.

“…Previous studies on determinants of hormonal contraceptive methods use report age, level of education, knowledge of contraceptive methods (Blackstone et al, 2017;Bolarinwa et al, 2020;Chola et al, 2020;Kapasia et al, 2022;Mahato et al, 2020), having clear plans for the future, communication with a partner about contraception use, desire to use birth control, and a desire to prevent unintended pregnancy as factors for contraceptive uptake (Bain et al, 2021;Blackstone et al, 2017;Nalwadda, 2012).…”

Adolescence is the phase of life from age 10 to 19 years. This distinctive stage in human growth and development has the potential to chart the course of one's life in a positive or negative direction. It presents a unique opportunity and sets the stage for a healthy life and good socio-economic prospects for the future (WHO, 2022). The rapid change in adolescents' physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development at this stage highly impacts their feelings, thoughts, decision-making, and relationship with the environment (Skinner et al., 2019; WHO, 2022;Zucker and Brown, 2019). At this stage, adolescents are curious to explore the world around them. Their curiosity and high tendencies toward adventure can be rewarding and fulfilling. However, poorly coordinated can result in regrettable consequences such as illnesses, injuries, and death (WHO, 2022;Zucker and Brown, 2019). One of the leading health risks in adolescence is the risk of early and unplanned pregnancy resulting from sexual behaviours practiced by them. Being pregnant and being a teenage mother exposes both mother and child and the family to several health, social and economic risks (
