There are marked differences in current use of contraception by background characteristics<br />

among currently married women (Table 5.6.1 and Figure 5.2). Currently married women in urban areas<br />

are nine times more likely to use a modern method and seven times more likely to use a traditional<br />

method than their rural counterparts. Use of modern methods is the highest among women in Addis<br />

Ababa (34 percent) and the lowest among women in the Somali Region (2 percent). Other urbanized<br />

areas, like Dire Dawa and Harari also have higher levels of current use of modern methods (24 percent<br />

and 19 percent, respectively).<br />
