Young people are challenged with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) problems due to limited access to services and information. It contributes a high burden of sexually transmitted disease, unsafe abortion, and premature mortality, especially in low-income countries like Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed at assessing the SRH service utilization and associated factors among college students at West Arsi Zone in Oromia region, Ethiopia. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 519 randomly selected college students from January 01, 2019, up to April 30, 2019. Data were collected through self-administered pretested questionnaires. Data entry and analysis for descriptive and logistic regression models were performed by using SPSS (version 23). The result was declared as statistically significant at <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><\/mml:math>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The utilization of at least one SRH service in the last twelve months was seen in 304 (58.6%) students. Mainly information and counseling (81.3%), voluntary testing and counseling for HIV (80.6%), condom service (37.2%), pregnancy test (35.5%), family planning services (33.2%), and abortion care services (26.0%) were most frequently utilized. The students\u2019 aged between 20 and 24 years [AOR\u2009=\u20092.05, 95% CI: 1.38\u20133.06], female students [AOR\u2009=\u20091.92, 95% CI: 1.30\u20132.82], those not living with family [AOR\u2009=\u20091.54, 95% CI: 1.05\u20132.26], those who discussed about SRH with family\/friends [AOR\u2009=\u20091.92, 95% CI: 1.31\u20132.82], and those who participated in school clubs [AOR\u2009=\u20091.75, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.58] more frequently used SRH service compared with their counterparts. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The utilization of SRH services was low when compared with other studies and needs improvements to tackle RH-related problems. It requires pertinent health education and the SRH club at higher educational institutions is crucial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/3408789","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,25]],"date-time":"2020-08-25T23:31:17Z","timestamp":1598398277000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Sexual
