A significant proportion of women in Ethiopia engaged in high-risk fertility behavior. High-risk fertility behavior was distributed non-randomly across Ethiopian regions. Policymakers and stakeholders should design interventions that take into account the factors that predispose women to have high-risk fertility behaviors and women who reside in areas with a high proportion of high-risk fertility behaviors to reduce the consequences of high-risk fertility behaviors.
