AB  - BACKGROUND: The first twelve months after a woman has given birth is crucial for 
      the use of contraceptives to prevent unintended pregnancy. Most women, especially 
      in developing countries, do not realize that they are at risk for pregnancy 
      during this period. Due to this, contraceptive use by women is ignored at this 
      time. OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the associated factors of postpartum family 
      planning (PPFP) service uptake in the Asosa zone. METHODS: A facility-based 
      cross-sectional study was conducted among 396 postpartum women in the Asosa zone. 
      An interviewer-administered, structured, and pre-tested questionnaire was used to 
      collect data. Data entry and cleaning were done using Epi Info version 7.0 and 
      analyzed using SPSS version 25 software. Multivariate logistic regression 
      analysis was employed to identify factors associated with postpartum family 
      planning uptake. RESULTS: The majority of the study participants, 384 (97.2%), 
      had heard about at least one method of family planning. Nearly two-thirds of the 
      study participants (64.1%) had resumed sexual intercourse. Only 53.5% of the 
      participants started using PPFP. Injectable forms (54.7%) and implants (26.4%) 
      were the most commonly used methods. More than one-fourth (27.4%) did not use 
      their preferred methods. Family planning use before index pregnancy (AOR = 4.8, 
      95% CI: 2.65, 8.82), previous use of PPFP (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.33, 4.38)] and 
      health facility delivery (AOR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.46, 5.49)] were significantly 
      associated with uptake of postpartum family planning. CONCLUSION AND 
      RECOMMENDATION: Postpartum family planning uptake in the study area was low. 
      Uptake of PPFP was correlated with prior family planning usage and delivery at a 
      healthcare facility. Given these factors, we recommend all study area 
      stakeholders to promote family planning use among women of reproductive age and 
      to encourage deliveries at healthcare facilities. Designing a method to reach 
      women who give birth at home for a variety of reasons is also advisable. 
      Unavailability of different forms of FP also made the participants not use the 
      preferred option. Therefore, we recommend the stakeholders in the study area to 
      avail variety of FP methods.
