Background.
Long acting and permanent contraceptive methods have the potential to reduce unintended pregnancies but the contraceptive choice and utilization in Ethiopia are highly dominated by short term contraceptives.
Objective.
To assess the knowledge and perception on long acting and permanent contraceptives of married women and men in Northern Ethiopia.
Method.
A qualitative method was conducted in Adigrat on January, 2012.
Four focus group discussions with married women and men and six in-depth interviews with family planning providers were conducted.
Content analysis was used to synthesize the data.
Result.
Participants’ knowledge on long acting and permanent contraceptives is limited to recognizing the name of the methods.
Most of the participants are not able to identify permanent methods as a method of contraception.
They lack basic information on how these methods work and how they can use it.
Women had fears and rumors about each of these methods.
They prefer methods which do not require any procedure.
Family planning providers stated as they have weakness on counseling of all contraceptive choices.
Conclusion.
There are personal barriers and knowledge gaps on these contraceptive methods.
Improving the counseling service program can help women to increase knowledge and avoid misconceptions of each contraceptive choice.
