Objective Ethiopia is home to an increasingly large refugee population. Reproductive health care is a critical issue for these groups because refugee women are at high risk for unmet family planning needs. Efforts to expand contraceptive use, particularly long acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods are currently underway in several Ethiopian refugee camps. Despite availability of LARC methods, few refugee women opt to use them. The purpose of this study was to explore how culture influences contraceptive attitudes and behaviors, particularly towards LARC methods, among Ethiopia’s refugee populations. Methods Focus group discussions and individual interviews were conducted with Eritrean and Somali refugees living in Ethiopia. The qualitative data was analyzed to identify important themes highlighting the relationship between cultural values and contraceptive attitudes and behaviors. Results Childbearing was highly valued among participants in both study groups. Eritreans reported desire to limit family size and attributed this to constraints related to refugee status. Somalis used cultural and religious faith to deal with economic scarcity and were less likely to feel the need to adapt contraceptive behaviors to reduce family size. Participants held overall positive views of the contraceptive implant. Attitudes toward the intrauterine device (IUD) were overwhelmingly negative due to its long-acting nature. Conclusions Culture, religion and refugee status form a complex interplay with family planning attitudes and behaviors among Eritrean and Somali refugees. For these populations, the three-year implant appears to be a more acceptable contraceptive method than the longer-acting IUD because it is in line with their reproductive plans.

Background: Premature infants benefit from receiving expressed breast milk (BM), but expressing breast milk is difficult for new mothers. Little is known about mothers’ social support and BM expression during the premature infant’s hospital stay. Objective: We examined whether low maternal social support was associated with breast milk expression initiation and low breast milk expression among low-income mothers of premature infants. Methods: Maternal intake interview data and daily infant data on proportion of nutrition from BM during hospitalization were analyzed from a larger randomized trial testing a developmental intervention on 181 mother–premature infant dyads with at least 2 of 10 social-environmental risks. Multivariable modified Poisson regression was used to examine the relationship between social support (Personal Resources Questionnaire 2000; dichotomized as low for lowest quartile), initiation (any breast milk expressed vs none), and low breast milk expression (if BM was < 30% of infant total milk/formula intake during hospitalization). Results: Breast milk expression was initiated by 70.2% of mothers, and 32.3% of those mothers had low breast milk expression. In adjusted multivariable analyses, social support did not relate to the initiation of breast milk expression but was significantly associated with low breast milk expression among mothers who initiated (adjusted relative risk = 1.57; 95% confidence interval, 1.00-2.47). Conclusion: Low social support was not associated with initiation but was associated with low breast milk expression during hospitalization. Interventions to enhance social support for mothers of premature infants, especially those reporting low social support from family and friends, may increase in-hospital expression and long-term breastfeeding.
