The use of modern family planning methods among women of reproductive age (15\u201049 years) is of public health importance in Ethiopia. Nationally, modern family planning method use remains as low as 35%. Understanding factors associated with the use of modern family planning methods may help to improve maternal and child health. Hence, this study is aimed at assessing modern family planning method use and its determinants among women of reproductive age in the rural districts of Eastern Hararghe zone, Eastern Ethiopia. <jats:italic>Methodology<\/jats:italic>. A community\u2010based, cross\u2010sectional survey was conducted among 577 randomly selected, currently married, reproductive\u2010aged women in selected rural districts of Eastern Hararghe, Eastern Ethiopia. Data were collected using a pretested, interviewer\u2010administered questionnaire about women\u2019s sociodemographic information, knowledge about contraception, reproductive history, contraceptive use and fertility desire, couple\u2019s communication, and decision\u2010making on family planning. Binary and multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the dependent and independent variables. <jats:italic>Result<\/jats:italic>. A total of 555 study participants participated, yielding a 96.2% response rate. The overall modern family planning utilization among the study participants was 18.4%. Knowledge of modern family planning methods (AOR = 16.958, CI: 4.768, 60.316), husband approval (AOR = 3.590, CI: 2.170, 5.936), couple\u2019s discussion (AOR = 2.852, CI: 1.759, 4.623), male involvement in decisions about family planning (AOR = 2.340, CI: 1.531, 3.576), desire for additional child (AOR = 2.295, CI: 1.528, 3.447), and previous use of contraception (AOR = 0.018, CI: 0.005, 0.063) were significantly associated with modern contraceptive utilization. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Even though knowledge of modern family planning methods was very high, the overall modern family planning method use in the study area was low. The government should focus on increasing modern family planning method availability. It must also ensure family planning method security and create awareness on modern family planning methods through community\u2010based education and proper counselling to empower women to make an appropriate choice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/6096280","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,30]],"date-time":"2020-12-30T03:20:19Z","timestamp":1609298419000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Modern
