Discontinuation of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods and associated factors among reproductive-age women in Shashemene town, Oromia, Ethiopia.

Background: The early termination of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) raises issues for the healthcare system and has the potential to affect public health. Long-acting reversible contraception has now become more widely available and used, although a sizable percentage of women still do not use it. Therefore, this study aims to assess the factors associated with the discontinuation of the LARC method among female users of health facilities in Shashemene town in Oromia, Ethiopia.
