In sub Saharan African countries, including Ethiopia, even though studies show that demand for contraception is high, the practice is low. Particularly, in Ethiopia, despite the fact that practices on long acting and permanent methods are believed to be low, there are limited evidences on the real magnitude of demand for the methods.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>To assess demand for long acting and permanent contraceptive methods and associated factors among married women of reproductive age group in Debre Markos town, Amhara Regional State, North West Ethiopia, A community based cross sectional study was conducted, from April 08\u201319, 2012. Systematic sampling technique was used to select 523 study participants. Pre tested structured Amharic version questionnaire was used to collect the data through interview. Both bivariate and multiple logistic regressions were used to identify associated factors.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among 519 respondents, 323 (62.2%) were using modern family planning (FP) methods in which 101 (19.5%) were using long acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPMs). Among all respondents, 171 (32.9%) had unmet need for LAPMs. The total demand for LAPMs was 272 (52.4%) of which 37.1% were satisfied and 62.9% unsatisfied demand. Being in the older age group (40-44\u00a0years) [AOR\u2009=\u20092.8; 95% CI:1.12, 9.55], having no desire for more child [AOR\u2009=\u200920.37; 95% CI:9.28, 44.72], desire to have a child after 2\u00a0years [AOR\u2009=\u20096.4; 95%CI:3.04,13.47], not ever heard of modern FP [AOR\u2009=\u20095.73; 95% CI:1.26, 25.91], not ever using of modern FP [AOR\u2009=\u20091.89; 95% CI:1.01, 3.55] and having no spousal discussion in the last six month [AOR\u2009=\u20091.642, 95% CI: 1.049, 2.57) were some of the factors significantly associated with demand for LAPMs.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Demand and unmet need for LAPMs were high in the study area.
