Following the presentation of a case vignette, women's OF awareness was measured by asking if they had ever heard of OF. A multilevel multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed. A 95% CI and p<0.05 were used to declare statistical significance.<h4>Result</h4>The magnitude of women's awareness of OF was 38% (95% CI 0.37 to 0.39). Individual level variables including being in the age group of 20-25 (adjusted OR, AOR 1.17; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.35), 26-30 (AOR 1.50; 95% CI 1.27 to 1.76) and >30 (AOR 1.76;BMJ opene053221https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8655562biostudies-literatureAwareness of obstetric fistula and its associated factors among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia: a multilevel analysis of Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data: a cross-sectional study.PMC8655562Shitu KAleminew WMulat BfalseAwareness of obstetric fistula and its associated factors among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia: a multilevel analysis of Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data: a cross-sectional study.<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to determine the magnitude and associated factors of obstetric fistula (OF) awareness among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia.<h4>Methods</h4>This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 15 683 reproductive-aged women in Ethiopia.
