Mental health impact on the unmet need for family planning and fertility rate in rural Ethiopia: a population-based cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: CMD symptoms are associated with increased unmet need for family planning in this cohort of women with high fertility and low contraceptive use in rural Ethiopia. There is a lack of models of care promoting integration of mental and physical health in the family planning setting and further research is necessary to study the burden of preconception mental health conditions and how these can be best addressed.
