In addition to limiting the number of children, family planning is essential to promoting the well-being and autonomy of women, their families, and their communities. Factors influencing modern contraceptive utilization are multifaceted and challenging, therefore; this study aimed to assess modern contraceptive utilization and associated factors among mid to late reproductive age, married women in Finote Selam town, northwest Ethiopia.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 30 to July 15, 2017 among married women aged 30-49. A cluster sampling technique was used to select 1146 eligible participants from three randomly selected kebeles. A face-to-face interviewer administered a structured and pretested questionnaire. Binary logistic regression models, in bivariate and multivariable analyses, were fitted to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated to determine the presence, direction, and strength of associations.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 1134 women aged 30-49 participated in this study representing a response rate of 98.9%.The overall modern contraceptive utilization was 37% (95% CI 35.43-40.21). An injectable contraceptive was the most commonly used method, followed by an implant contraceptive method. Factors independently associated with modern contraceptive use were: educational status -secondary school (AOR = 1.5,95%CI 1.01-2.2) and college and above (AOR = 1.5,95%CI 1.02-2) compared to no education, number of previous pregnancy: nulligravid (AOR = 4.6,95%CI 3.2-5.5),1-2 previous pregnancies (AOR = 3.2,95%CI 2.03-5.44), 3-4 previous pregnancies(AOR = 2.3,95% CI1.4-3.7) compared to > 4 pregnancies and postnatal care utilization (AOR = 1.5,95% CI 1.1-2.1)compared to no postnatal service utilized.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings show that modern contraceptive utilization among women age 30-49 is low in Finote Selam town Northwest Ethiopia.

Despite this increasing awareness, a paucity of research data and clinical protocols of care for clinicians continues to exist, especially in regard to the transgender individual's family planning needs. Clinicians should be on the forefront of promoting strategies that forge a meaningful and collaborative relationship with the transgender man, including as he transitions through to the menopause and his sexual and reproductive healthcare needs. Unfortunately, despite best efforts to address the health concerns of transgender men in midlife, including their contraceptive needs and pregnancy desires, there is currently a paucity of research. Although hormonal contraceptives are not an option for this group of individuals, especially those on masculinizing hormones, IUD's, both copper containing and progestin containing, should be considered for those with intact pelvic organs. For this group of transgender men with potential for pregnancy who have either completed their family or choose not to give birth, sterilization can be offered. Regardless of where they identify along the gender spectrum, these midlife individuals with potential reproductive potential should have equitable access to and up to date counseling on their contraceptive options.
