Modern contraceptive methods enable couples to enjoy sexual intercourse without fear of the risk of pregnancy at any desired time. The evidence from different studies done in Ethiopia on modern contraceptive method utilization was highly varied and not conclusive. Therefore, the current study aims to study the magnitude of modern contraceptive utilization and associated factors among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia based on 2016 EDHS data. A nationally representative 2016 EDHS data collected between January 18/ 2016 to June 27/2016 were used. Descriptive studies and logistic regression models were used to summarize descriptive data and measure statistical association respectively. Adjusted odds ratio and confidence interval were respectively used to measure association and its statistical significance. Finally, statistical significance was declared using a confidence interval. In the current study, the overall modern contraceptive utilization among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia was 3203 (20.42%). The injectable contraceptive method was the most commonly used modern contraceptive method, 1886(58.88%) followed by implant/Norplant, 779 (24.32%). The results of multivariable logistic regression showed that age, residence, region, woman’s occupation, number of living children, husband’s education, age at first sexual intercourse, husband’s desire for more children, wealth index and watching TV were independently associated to modern contraceptive utilization among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. The magnitude of modern contraceptive utilization among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia in the current study is unexpectedly low. Age, residence, region, woman’s occupation, number of living children, husband’s education, age at first sexual intercourse, husband’s desire for more children, wealth index and watching TV were independent predictors of modern contraceptive use among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. Any intervention strategy that promotes modern contraceptive method utilization should consider these factors for its better success.

埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女中现代避孕药具的使用及其相关因素：2016年埃塞俄比亚人口与健康调查的证据。

现代避孕方法使夫妻能够进行性交，而不必担心在任何期望的时间怀孕的风险。在埃塞俄比亚进行的有关现代避孕方法利用的不同研究的证据差异很大，但不是结论性的。因此，本研究旨在根据2016年EDHS数据研究埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女现代避孕药具的使用量及相关因素。使用了2016年1月18日至2016年6月27日收集的具有全国代表性的2016年EDHS数据。描述性研究和逻辑回归模型分别用于总结描述性数据和衡量统计关联。调整后的优势比和置信区间分别用于衡量关联性及其统计意义。最后，使用置信区间声明统计显着性。在本研究中，埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女总体上现代避孕药具的使用量为3203（20.42％）。注射避孕方法是最常用的现代避孕方法，1886（58.88％），其次是植入物/未植入的779（24.32％）。多变量logistic回归分析的结果表明，年龄，居住地，地区，妇女的职业，在世子女的数量，丈夫的受教育程度，初次性交的年龄，丈夫对更多孩子的渴望，财富指数和看电视与现代避孕药具的使用独立相关。埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女。当前研究中，埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女现代避孕药具的使用量低得令人惊讶。年龄，居住地区，妇女的职业，在世子女的数量，丈夫的受教育程度，初次性交的年龄，丈夫对更多孩子的渴望，财富指数和看电视是埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女现代避孕药具使用的独立预测因素。任何促进现代避孕方法利用的干预策略均应考虑这些因素，以使其取得更大的成功。
