Evidence shows that informed choice of contraceptive methods lowers the potential risk of family planning discontinuation rate, misunderstanding of contraceptive method and unintended pregnancies finally lead to induced abortions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to ascertain the magnitude of informed choice of modern contraceptive methods user and its determinant factors among reproductive age women who are currently using modern contraceptive in Easter African countries. Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted using data from the DHS eight Eastern Africa nations between 2012 and 2020. The total weighted sample was 6154 reproductive age women who used were modern contraceptive method. Stata version 14 was used to analysis secondary data. Determinants of informed choice were determined by using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression model. Significant factors related with informed choice in multilevel mixed effect logistic regression model were decided when the p value of
