To assess the prevalence and determinants of current tobacco use among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted by utilizing secondary data taken from the Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey of 2016. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were used to analyze the data. The odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval was considered to interpret associations and a significant association was stated at a -value < 0.05.
The overall magnitude of current tobacco use was 1.4% (n= 217). Majority of them 59.91% (n= 130) smoke cigarettes and followed by smoking gaya 43.32% (n= 94). Higher prevalence was found among participants from Gambella 44.24% (n= 96), Benishangul.59% (n= 36) and afar regions 13.36% (n= 29). Age group of 25-34 years [AOR = 2.78; 95% CI: 1.69, 4.57)], age group of ≥ 35 years [AOR = 4.24; 95% CI: 2.54, 7.07)], followers of protestant religion [AOR = 2.36; 95% CI: 4.17, 9.42], Islamic religion [AOR = 3.92; 95% CI: 2.16, 7.11], and traditional religion [AOR = 16.23; 95% CI: 8.33, 31.61], being in poorest wealth index [AOR = 15.78; 95% CI: 7.38, 33.70], poorer wealth index [AOR = 5.85; 95% CI: 2.64, 12.97], middle wealth index [AOR = 3.61; 95% CI: 1.57, 8.29], and richer wealth index [AOR = 2.48; 95% CI: 1.10, 5.85], who were never in union [AOR = 0.31; 95% CI: 0.14, 0.67], ever drinking alcohol [AOR = 5.44; 95% CI: 3.71, 7.95] and ever chewing khat [AOR = 7.59; 95% CI: 4.99, 11.55] were factors associated with current tobacco use.
Women used tobacco in different forms, and its distribution varies across Ethiopian regional states. The concerned body needs to give attention to the identified associated factors and regions with higher tobacco use.
评估埃塞俄比亚育龄妇女当前烟草使用情况的患病率及其决定因素。
利用2016年埃塞俄比亚人口与健康调查的二手数据进行了一项横断面研究。采用描述性统计和逻辑回归分析数据。以95%置信区间的比值比来解释关联，P值<0.05时表明存在显著关联。
当前烟草使用的总体比例为1.4%（n = 217）。其中大多数人（59.91%，n = 130）吸烟，其次是吸食加亚烟（43.32%，n = 94）。在甘贝拉地区的参与者中患病率较高，为44.24%（n = 96），贝尼尚古尔地区为59%（n = 36），阿法尔地区为13.36%（n = 29）。25 - 34岁年龄组[AOR = 2.78；95%CI：1.69，4.57]、≥35岁年龄组[AOR = 4.24；95%CI：2.54，7.07]、新教信徒[AOR = 2.36；95%CI：4.17，9.42]、伊斯兰教信徒[AOR = 3.92；95%CI：2.16，7.11]和传统宗教信徒[AOR = 16.23；95%CI：8.33，31.61]，处于最贫困财富指数组[AOR = 15.78；95%CI：7.38，33.70]、较贫困财富指数组[AOR = 5.85；95%CI：2.64，12.97]、中等财富指数组[AOR = 3.61；95%CI：1.57，8.29]和较富裕财富指数组[AOR = 2.48；95%CI：1.10，5.85]，从未结婚[AOR = 0.31；95%CI：0.14，0.67]、曾经饮酒[AOR = 5.44；95%CI：3.71，7.95]和曾经咀嚼恰特草[AOR = 7.59；95%CI：4.99，11.55]是与当前烟草使用相关的因素。
女性以不同形式使用烟草，其分布在埃塞俄比亚各地区有所不同。相关机构需要关注已确定的相关因素以及烟草使用率较高的地区。
