dc.description.abstract The purpose of this study was to assess men’s knowledge and attitude towards vasectomy as a family planning method options available to men in East Wollega zone of Oromia Region. Male sterilisation in sub-Saharan countries including Ethiopia is very much limited due to lots of reasons despite its many advantages than other family planning methods. Quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional research was used to describe level of knowledge and attitude towards vasectomy. Data were collected using structured questionnaire in which a total of 150 respondents, who were selected using non-random purposive sampling technique participated in the study. The data were analysed using SPSS version 20. Hence the findings revealed the lack of knowledge and low interest on vasectomy among respondents. The concerted effort from all stakeholders and use of multiple strategies to educate the community will raise awareness which in turn improves vasectomy service uptake en
