Unmet need for family planning and associated factors among adolescent girls and young women in Ethiopia: a multilevel analysis of Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey.

Unmet need for family planning was high among adolescent girls and young women when compared to the national average and the United Nations sphere standard of unmet need for family planning. Age, wealth quantile, media exposure, and region were significantly associated with unmet need for family planning. Hence, there is the need to implement consistently effective family planning policies among AGYW living in developing regions of Ethiopia. Moreover, Public health policies and interventions that improve the existing strategies to improve media exposure of AGYW on family planning issues and increase the wealth status of households should be designed and implemented to reduce the unmet need for family planning in Ethiopia.
