Abstract
Anemia is predicted to affect 38% of pregnant women worldwide. However, evidence for utilization and compliance with iron supplementation and predictors during pregnancy in Ethiopia, is inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to assess utilization and compliance with iron supplementation and predictors among pregnant women in Robe Town, Southeast Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was employed among randomly selected 445 pregnant women attending antenatal care. Systematic random sampling was used. Data were collected using a pre-tested, interviewer-administered, structured questionnaire. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used.
