This study revealed the prevalence of modern contraceptives and its associated factors among younger and older married youth women.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A cross-sectional study design was applied to the sample of EMDHS 2019. Multilevel logistic regressions were carried out using STATA version 16 to identify the individual and community-level factors of modern contraceptive utilization. Adjusted odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval and variables with a <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value &lt; 0.05 were considered to be significant determinants of modern contraceptive utilization.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In the EMDHS 2019, a total of 3290 married women between ages 15 and 34 were included. Among these 1210 (36.7%) and 2080 (63%) women, they were age groups of 15\u201324 and 25\u201334 years, respectively. Modern contraceptive utilization among women aged 15\u201324 and 25\u201334 years was 54.23% and 52.6%, respectively. Injection is a commonly used modern contraceptive method. In this study, factors associated with modern contraceptive utilization among women aged 15\u201324 years include women who had primary education [AOR = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.02\u20134.83], who had three or more children in the household [AOR = 14.29; 95% CI: 1.61\u2013126.25], Protestants [AOR = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.14\u20130.61], five to seven households [AOR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.17\u20130.69], and region [AOR = 6.98; 95%:2.30\u201321.16]. On other hand, factors associated with modern contraceptive utilization among women aged 25\u201334 were women who had one or two under-five children in the household [AOR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.03\u20132.68] and region [AOR = 3.54; 95%CI: 1.79\u20136.97].<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>More than 50% of participants used modern contraceptives in both age groups and, the associated factor of modern contraceptive utilization varied among this age group.
