Pregnancy can pose a risk to women on tuberculosis (TB) treatment with a threat to the wellbeing of the mother and fetus. Physiological and stress-related effects result when pregnancy occurs during TB illness and while on treatment. Hence, this study aimed to assess contraceptive utilization, unmet need among women on TB treatment, and integration of family planning (FP) services with TB clinics in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
