Assessment of unmet needs and the demand for family planning in Addis Ababa.
Tekabe Ayalew, BA; Amare Dejene, MSc; Yared Mekonnen, BSc.
National Research Institute of Health.
A study was conducted to asses Unmet needs for FP in Addis Ababa. The city was categorized, for the Purpose of the study, in to two: inner which is densely Populated and periphery which is relatively sparsely Populated. Five kebeles from each category and hundred households from each kebele were selected randomly. A pretested questionnaire was administered through female enumerators, trained for this purpose. Among the interviewed (1(KX) women) the total number with unmet needs were 56.9% (559 women) of which 52.3% (523 women) Want to limit and 4.6% (46 women) Want to space their birth. The unmet need for limiting is higher at older age than at younger; in the case of spacing it is the vise versa. Unmet need was higher among the illiterate than among those with elementary, high school education and above. More than half of the women (56.9% ) were with Unmet needs, while the proportion of women who are currently using any type of contraceptive (CP) method was found to be 21.6%. This means that if the unmet need was to be satisfied, the prevalence may rise up to 78% -the total demand for family planning. A logistic and log linear analysis (using GLIM and SPSS/PC) was done in order to control confounders. And it was found that age, knowledge about CP and level of' education are the most important factors affecting Unmet need for FP and there was no significant interactive effect.
