Abstract

Background: Unintended pregnancies are a serious public health concern that has several effects on the health of mothers and children. However, no studies have been conducted on unintended pregnancy using geographically weighted regression in the 2016 Ethiopian demographic and health survey.

Methods: A cross-sectional study used data from the 2016 demographic and health survey and included 7589 women of the reproductive age.
