  abstract = {Introduction: Promotion and utilization of effective and convenient family planning methods in countries with high birth rates and limited resources have a potential to improve maternal and child health. These could reduce the costs of achieving millennium development goals. However, the contribution of long acting contraceptives both female and male sterilization, intrauterine device, and implant in Ethiopia is very low. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the determinants of long acting contraceptive use in Ethiopia to improve its utilization. Methods: Unmatched case control study design was employed using data from the 2011 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. Questionnaire was used to extract data from EDHS data set. The extracted data was transformed, edited and recoded using SPSS data editor command. Cross-tabulation was used to describe cases and controls. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the determinants of LACs use. Strength of the association was assessed using odds ratio with 95% confidence interval. Result: The mean age of cases and controls were 32±7 and 31± 9, respectively. Sixteen seven (18.4 %) of cases have secondary and above level of education. Among the cases, 199 (54.7%) of them did not want any more children. Fifty four percent of cases were exposed to family planning messages through mass media. Secondary and above level of education [AOR (95%CI) =3 (1.5, 5.0)], working status of women [AOR (95%CI) = 1.7 (1.3, 2.2)], being visited by family planning workers [AOR (95%CI) = 1.8 (1.4, 2.5)] and exposure to family planning messages through media [AOR (95% CI) = 1.5 (1.1, 2.00)] were significantly associated with the use long acting contraceptive. Conclusions and Recommendations: Educational and working status of women, being visited by family planning workers, exposure to family planning messages and wanting no more children have positive association on LACs use. Provision of information about long acting contraceptives using mass media in advance and encouraging women to complete secondary level of education and above were important to improve LACs utilization.},
