Prevalence, Determinants, and Barriers to Reproductive Health Decision‐Making Autonomy Among Married Women in Rural Parts of Seden Sodo District, Southwest Ethiopia: A Mixed‐Methods Study

In rural Ethiopia, where patriarchal norms prevail, women's limited decision‐making autonomy significantly restricts their reproductive health (RH) service utilization. However, scarcity of data persists. Hence, this study assesses the prevalence, determinants, and barriers to RH decision‐making autonomy among married women in rural parts of Seden Sodo district, Southwest Ethiopia.
