Utilisation of growth monitoring service by mothers of infants in Mettu town, Southwest Ethiopia.

In this study, only one-fourth of mothers with children aged 0-23 months old were using GM services. GM service utilisation was found to be significantly associated with child age, early PNC visit, wealth status, utilisation of family health cards and time taking ≤30 min to reach the nearest health facility. Hence, appropriate strategies that promote and encourage GM service utilisation should be designed.
