AB  - INTRODUCTION: While family planning (FP) is important throughout an individual's 
      and couple's reproductive life, postpartum family planning (PPFP) focuses on the 
      prevention of unintended and closely spaced pregnancies through the first 12 
      months following childbirth. However, modern contraception utilization practice 
      during the postpartum period is underemphasized in Ethiopia. OBJECTIVE: This 
      study aimed to assess postpartum modern contraceptive utilization and associated 
      factors among postpartum women in Addis Zemen, South Gondar, Ethiopia in 2019. 
      METHODS: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1 to 
      February 30, 2019 on 402 women. Study subjects were selected by simple random 
      sampling technique. The data were collected by a structured and pretested, 
      face-to-face, interviewer-administered questionnaire, entered into EpiData 4.2 
      and analyzed by using SPSS 23 software. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were 
      used to examine the association. Odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (CI) and 
      P-value <0.05 were used to determine the statistical association. RESULTS: The 
      prevalence of postpartum family planning utilization was 54.7%. Maternal 
      educational status (adjusted odd ratio (AOR)=2.99, 95% CI (1.72, 5.19)), menses 
      return (AOR=4.76, 95% CI (3.03, 7.48)), less than four alive children (AOR=3.61, 
      95% CI (1.51, 4.51)), postnatal care follow-up (AOR=2.96, 95% CI (1.57, 5.57)), 
      length of time after delivery (AOR=1.80, 95% CI (1.16, 2.79)) and knowledge 
      (AOR=1.69, 95% CI (1.07, 2.66)) were significantly associated with postpartum 
      modern contraceptive utilization. CONCLUSION: The postpartum modern contraceptive 
      utilization was low. Therefore, health care providers should strengthen the 
      integration of family planning services with maternal and child health service, 
      provide health information about timely use of contraceptives and improve 
      postnatal care follow-up after giving birth.
