The study indicated that 634 (78.20%) of respondent mothers continued using the method that they have used before a year. Whereas 177 (21.80%) of women discontinued using the method within a year. The factors age, number of children, who made the decision on the choice of the method used, the type of contraceptive method used, and taking counseling before using the method were found significant at 5% level of significance.

人们普遍认为现代计划生育方法对全球生育率下降有影响。计划生育对全世界尤其是发展中国家的妇女、儿童和家庭的健康产生了明显影响。有研究表明，在许多情况下，妇女可能会停止使用那些对自身健康有风险的避孕方法。
评估和确定迪雷达瓦市育龄期妇女停用现代避孕方法的决定因素。
采用横断面研究设计。本研究共纳入811名有一年现代避孕方法使用史的受访女性。采用分层随机抽样方法选取研究对象。通过结构化问卷收集数据，并进行描述性统计和二元逻辑回归分析。
研究表明，634名（78.20%）受访母亲继续使用她们一年前用过的方法。而177名（21.80%）女性在一年内停用了该方法。年龄、子女数量、决定所使用避孕方法选择的人、所使用避孕方法的类型以及使用该方法前是否接受咨询等因素在5%的显著性水平上具有统计学意义。
年轻女性、子女数量少或没有子女的受访者以及不是避孕方法选择决策者的人更有可能停用。而未接受咨询的女性停用的可能性较小。与使用植入剂的女性相比，使用避孕药和注射剂的女性更有可能停用。因此，本研究确定了导致现代避孕方法停用的因素。
