Introduction. Youth is a decisive age to shape the direction of their life and that of their family. However, due to the host of biological, social, and economic factors, adolescent females can be at high risk of adverse sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Therefore, assessing youth reproductive service utilization and associated factors among female night students is very crucial for timely intervention to their gaps. Method. An institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted in Amhara region among 2,050 female night students from September 15 to November 15, 2018. A self-administered pretested questionnaire was used to collect the data. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was computed to determine the strength of association between predictor and outcome variables. P value less than or equal to 0.05 is considered as the level of significance. Results. Out of the total respondents, about 54.6%(CI: 52.5%-56.8%) of them utilized reproductive health services. Respondents who were attending secondary education ( AOR = 2.55 , 95 % CI = 1.97 ‐ 5.62 ), attitude towards youth reproductive health services ( AOR = 2.74 , 95 % CI = 2.07 ‐ 5.30 ), those who had a habit of communicating on sexual and reproductive health issues with their family ( AOR = 3.66 , 95 % CI = 3.59 ‐ 7.41 ), discussion on sexual and reproductive health issue with peers/friends ( AOR = 1.43 , 95 % CI = 1.01 ‐ 2.02 ), respondents with good knowledge on youth reproductive health services ( AOR = 2.03 , 95 % CI = 1.49 ‐ 2.75 ), and those who had faced reproductive health problems ( AOR = 2.03 , 95 % CI = 1.49 ‐ 2.75 ) were significantly associated with youth reproductive health service utilization. Conclusion. Youth reproductive health service utilization among female night students was not satisfactory. Therefore, special focus should be given to female night students by providing accessible, acceptable, confidential, flexible, and friendly reproductive health service utilization. Finally, community health promotion and education are mandatory to promote the practice of discussing youth reproductive health issues with their children.

Abstract Background: Decision making power of women is one of the essential factors which have influence on maternal health service utilizations. Women’s lack of decision over reproductive health service utilization affects their protection from unwanted child bearing, unsafe sex and their consequences. Objective፡ Assess decision-making power on RH-service utilization and its associated factors among married women in Illubabor zone, South West Ethiopia, 2018.Methods: Community based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from May to July, 2018 among 584(urban 292 and rural 292) married women of reproductive age group. The data were entered into EPI data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 20 computer software for analysis. Both Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used. Level of significance was declared at a p value of <0.05Results: A total of 288 in urban and 288 in rural married women were interviewed and yields a response rate of 98.6% both in urban and rural. Decision-making power in urban and rural was 55.2% [95% CI (52.7-64.6)] and 40.3% [95% CI (39.9-52.5)] respectively. In urban, being wives of government employed spouses [AOR 2.102 95% CI (1.16, 3.81)], knowledge on RH [AOR 3.33, 95% CI (1.20, 12.49)], above five years in marriage [AOR 1.91, 95% CI (1.19, 7.70)], were found to be predictors of women’s decision-making power.Conclusion and recommendation: Urban women had better power to make decisions than rural on reproductive health service utilization. The study revealed that in urban settings those women who had marriage duration five and more than five years, being wives of government employed spouses had more likely decision making power on reproductive health utilization but not in rural settings. Reproductive health interventions in the area should be promoted by considering empowering of married women on reproductive health service utilization.Article summary:Strength: the study was representative for urban and rural women on reproductive health service utilization.Limitation: the study is not without limitation.it has all limitation of cross-sectional studyIntroduction
