Unintended pregnancy and associated factors among unmarried female students: A case of Bahir Dar University

Abstract

In the current study the prevalence of unintended pregnancy was high among unmarried female University students. Unintended pregnancy was determined by the source of money, field of study and age at first sexual intercourse. Hence, students should use family as a source of money, abstain from early sexual intercourse and share experiences from Health Science students about the prevention of unintended pregnancies. In line with the alleviation of modifiable factors, health professionals should provide comprehensive reproductive health and contraceptive services to University students.
