The utilization of ICCM was found to be low in Ethiopia. Factors such as parents' awareness about the illness, knowledge of ICCM services, perceived severity of the disease, attending a secondary or more level of education, and living within 30 min distance to the health post were significantly associated with the utilization of ICCM. Therefore, it is crucial to focus on creating awareness and improving access to high-quality ICCM services to reduce child morbidity and mortality from preventable causes.
