Description
Delelegn Tsegaye Zikie, Misra Abdulahi Ahmed, and Gurmesa Tura Debelew gauge use of birth spacing care tied to mother care in northeast Ethiopia in a 2026 study. Spacing births after a delivery guards both mother and child, yet the service is among the least used in the land. Tying it to birth and post-birth visits should lift its reach.
Four state hospitals and 607 women fed the study. Just a quarter used the tied service, the team found. Use shifted with hospital tier, past use of spacing aids, and same-day choice by the woman. Staff backing and advice talks each swayed use in the team's model as well. Wider staff training is the urged fix.
