Factorsrs affecting the knowledge and attitudes of pastoralist women toward long-acting reversible contraceptives utilization in Southern Ethiopia, 2024

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 376 women of reproductive age who were randomly selected from three pastoral districts in the West Guji Zone. The data were collected by using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire. Ordinary logistic regression analyses with a p value < 0.05 were used to determine statistical significance. Six midwives with a diploma were recruited for data collection, and two public health officers were recruited to supervise and facilitate the data collection process. The questionnaire16–18 was first formulated in English and then translated into the regional working language, Afan Oromo, and back-translated to English to check its consistency by language experts in both languages.
