Addressing Unmet Need for Long Acting Family Planning in Ethiopia - Uptake of Implanon and Characteristics of Users
Objective: To describe women who accept Implanon from community health workers in Ethiopia and to assess whether community-based provision addresses unmet need for contraception.
Methods: Women who accepted Implanon during Implanon training in 4 regions of Ethiopia were asked about their characteristics and use of family planning. They were compared with clients accepting other methods and with women with unmet need nationally. Differences between groups were tested with chi-square, Fischer's Exact, and t-tests as appropriate.
Results: Implanon acceptors were older (28.3 vs. 26.7 years) and less educated (1.7 vs. 2.3 years) than clients who selected other methods. Almost one quarter (22.9%) of all clients had never used contraception before and this was higher among clients who chose Implanon (23.1% vs. 16.4%, p=0.04). Acceptors were also less likely to be using contraception (70.8% vs. 77.3%, p<0.05) but all clients interviewed were more likely to be using contraception than the rural population (17%). Clients who accepted Implanon were younger (1.5 years) but more educated (29.3% vs 16.5% completed primary education) than women with unmet need for contraception nationally.
Conclusion: Provision of Implanon through community-health workers at the community-level is effective in reaching those women who have greatest need for contraception.

Murder Down Under
by Nancy Curteman
I am true ly sorry to all of you, but the past couple of days have not been good ones. I try so very hard to have faith, understand, be happy and spread sunshine wherever I go, but days like these really test my faith. Yet, I was looking forward to spending the weekend with my brother, whom I have not seen in almost forty years......
Mommy why do you look so sad,
sitting and staring with eyes of red.
Hands cover your sullen swollen face,
was it something I did, something I said?
A tear stained photograph tattered and torn,
of a man you loved a very long time ago.
On the beaches of Normandy he
breathed his last,
yet all these years later you will not let go.
What about daddy, how did he feel?
This mans portrait on display for all to see.
I look like you with dark hair and eyes,
why did you expect me to look like he?
Bright blue eyes and thick wavy blonde hair,
but mommy it was a time that is no more.
You met another and became his wife,
but your heart was resistant that is for sure.
Your mind was made up, carved in stone,
you were having a boy, blonde hair, blue eyes.
Disappointment you felt was too much
to bear,
for eternity all will hear your cries.
Instead you received great pleasure and joy,
packing my bags and sending me away.
It took a long time, now I finally understand,
nothing I could do, nothing I could say.
Not much time left, you will be leaving soon,
will you be buried with daddy or with
your twin?
No, she will be buried in Normandy,
away from her family, but forever with him.
Mommy why do you look so sad,
sitting and staring with eyes of red.
Hands cover your sullen swollen face,
was it something I did, something I said?
