Spatial variations and determinants of modern contraceptive utilization among sexually active rural women in Ethiopia using mini EDHS 2019 data: spatial and multilevel analysis.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundModern contraceptive prevents unwanted pregnancy and play a paramount role in birth spacing and improving health care costs for the individual, family, community, and the country at large. However, there is limited evidence on the modern contraceptive utilization of rural women in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess the spatial distributions and determinants of modern contraceptive utilization of rural women in Ethiopia.
methodData was drawn from the 2019 Ethiopian mini-demographic health survey. Total weighted samples of 5934 mothers who were sexually active in the last five years preceding the survey were included. STATA version 14 was used to clean and analyze the data. The Arc GIS version 10.7 and Sat Scan version 10.1 were used for the spatial analysis to locate hot and cold spot areas in modern family planning among rural Ethiopian women. Multilevel multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify factors associated with modern family planning utilization in Ethiopia. In the multivariable analysis, an adjusted odd ratio with a 95% confidence level indicated a statistical association with the outcome variable at a P- value < 0.05.
resultThe overall prevalence of modern family planning utilization was 23.00% [95%CI (21.92-24.06)] among reproductive age (15-49) year-old Ethiopian rural women. Those women whose age 25-34 was [AOR = 0.79,95%CI(0.64, 0.98)], age of 35-49 years [AOR = 0.39,95%CI(0.03, 0.49)], being catholic[AOR = 1.46, 95%CI (1.18, 4.03)], not married[AOR = 0.05, 95%CI(0.04, 0.07)], having formal education[AOR = 1.59,95%CI(1.34, 1.88)], being primi-para[AOR = 2.27,95%CI(1.23, 9.33)], being multi-para[AOR = 2.43, 95%CI(1.94, 3.03)], house hold seize 11-24[AOR = 1.89,95%CI(1.38, 4.84)], having sons [AOR = 2.03,95%CI(1.67, 3.84)], having daughters[AOR = 1.55,95%CI(1.19, 2.33)], being middle wealth status[AOR = 1.22,95%CI(1.01, 1.47 )], and having high level community literacy were [AOR = 1.99, 95%CI(1.43, 2.79)] times to utilize modern. In this study, the spatial analysis revealed that SNNPR and Amhara regions have had a high modern contraceptive utilization rate. Whereas, the clusters with low utilization rates were located in Somalia and Afar regions of Ethiopia.
conclusionLess than a quarter of reproductive-age rural women used modern contraceptives in Ethiopia. The study revealed that there were considerable variations in utilizing modern contraceptives across rural areas in the regions of Ethiopia. Hence, the clusters with cold spots shall be emphasized beefing up the services.
