Background Unsafe induced abortion is one of the most medical and public health problems in developing countries including Ethiopia. Ethiopia has permitted abortion in specific legal circumstances when the conception of the fetus is caused by rape, incest, when continuation of pregnancy endangers the mother’s life. The aim of this study is to assess the magnitude and associated risk factors of unsafe induced abortion among women who received post abortion care service in Fitche Hospital. Methods Institutional based cross-sectional study was carried out among women who received post abortion care service at Fitche hospital from November 30, 2017 up to May 30, 2018. The data was collected using pre tested questionnaire and entered to EpiData version 3.1 software and analyzed using SPSS version 24. Descriptive statistics, multivariate logistic regression analysis and chi-square test were conducted. Results Three hundred and eight respondents (100% response rate) with mean age of 30 ± 9 years were participated in this study. From respondents, 45% had history of unsafe induced abortion and 27% of them reported the abortion was performed in house by traditional birth attendant. Single women were more likely practice unsafe induced abortion than widowed women [OR: 9.71; 95%CI (1.30 – 72.42)]. Women who had low monthly income [OR: 6.72; 95%CI (2.15 - 20.97)] and house wives [OR: 12.29; 95%CI (1.70 - 88.63)] were more likely practice unsafe induced abortion than counterparts. Failure of contraceptive methods, place of interference, method used for interference, a person who induced the abortion, a condition after procedure, and reasons to induce abortion were identified as association factors of unsafe induced abortion at P < 0.001. Conclusion The study assessed the magnitude and reported a significant association between unsafe induced abortion and socio-demographic factors, contraceptive practice, and abortion related items. These findings are positive enough to warrant a large-scale study to better understand the unsafe abortion vulnerability factors in Ethiopia.

“…However, a study in Ethiopia, Musa et al (2016) showed that rural areas were more significantly associated with modern contraceptive use before pregnancy than urban areas. A study by Workie et al (2018) in Ethiopia, posited that the number of modern contraceptive users whose those living in rural is higher than as compared with their counterparts.…”

The key purpose of this study is to explore socio-economic and demographic characteristics that influence modern contraceptive use of currently married women aged 15-49 in Myanmar. This study is contributing to fill the literature gaps at the national level. Even though there have been a number of studies on modern contraceptive use and family planning in Myanmar, these studies did not represent the whole nation. This study utilizes data from the Myanmar Demographic and Health Survey (MDHS) 2015-16, a national level cross-sectional dataset. Based on the study, the currently married women in this study included 6,597 women in Myanmar, 51 percent of currently married women were using at least one modern contraceptive method. A binary logistic regression model used in this study indicates that women's education, women employment status, number of living children, family planning information from TV, wealth index and husband's education were positively significant to the women's modern contraceptive use. On the other hand, women's age and women with the desire for more children were negatively significant. The result of the study strongly suggested that women with the higher education and being employed would increase the awareness of the use and benefits of modern contraceptive. Moreover, the family planning program and awareness program should be promoted through a TV channel.
