Spatial distribution, prevalence, and determinants of unintended pregnancy among youth (15–24) in Ethiopia: Further analysis of Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the spatial distribution, prevalence, and determinant factors of unintended pregnancy among youth in Ethiopia. Methods: Using the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016, a total of 2446 pregnant women aged 15–24 in the last 5 years, including current p...

Methods: Using the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016, a total of 2446 pregnant women aged 15–24 in the last 5 years, including current pregnancy, were included in the study.

Conclusion: The distribution of unintended pregnancy among youth in Ethiopia was nonrandom. Unintended pregnancy prevention strategies among youth need to be targeted on the identified factors.
