Despite some progress, efforts are still needed to improve FP method use among urban adolescent and young women. Age, administrative region, wealth index, marital status, and ethnic group are significantly associated with modern FP use. Future policies and interventions should place emphasis on improving adolescents' reproductive health knowledge, increasing FP availability and strengthening provision. Efforts should target adolescents aged 15-19 years in particular, and address disparities between administrative regions and ethnic groups, and health-related inequalities.
