This analysis aimed at examining the association between the level of knowledge about long-acting/permanent methods of contraceptives (LAPM) and nonuse of LAPM among currently married, nonpregnant, and fecund women aged 15 to 49 years intending to limit childbearing. Data were derived from a cross-sectional study in Tuban, Kediri, and Lumajang District (East Java Province) and Lombok Barat, Lombok Timur, and Sumbawa District (Nusa Tenggara Barat Province) in June 2012. Information was obtained from 4323 respondents. Using multivariate logistic regression, we found that women with moderate levels of LAPM knowledge were less likely to use LAPM than women with high levels of knowledge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.51-2.68). Women with low level of LAPM knowledge were less likely to use LAPM than women with high levels of knowledge (aOR = 4.25, 95% CI = 3.37-5.36). Efforts to strengthen counseling services and increased provider knowledge and counselling skills are important to improve women's knowledge about and use of LAPM.

Background: Maintaining quality of care in family planning (FP) counselling in low-resource settings is challenging. Job aids can help providers give more accurate and client-specific advice but require a provider to use them effectively and consistently. Marie Stopes International (MSI) have designed the tablet-computer based Digital Counselling Application (DCA), which prompts structured, supportive, client-specific and unbiased FP counselling.

Background: Long acting and permanent contraceptive methods are the most effective family planning (FP) methods to prevent pregnancy and thereby averting adverse consequences of too many and ill-timed pregnancies. However, long acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPMs) are underutilized in Ethiopia for little documented reasons. Therefore, this study is aimed to assess magnitude and factors associated with desire for birth spacing for at least 2 years or limiting child bearing and non-use of LAPMs among married women of reproductive age in Aksum town, Northern Ethiopia.
