<p>An institution-based, unmatched case-control study was conducted among 32 cases and 96 controls of Dilla University students. Cases included confirmed measles cases that had a positive IgM antibody or an epidemiological link to confirmed cases. Controls were students who had no clinical signs or symptoms of measles and were randomly selected from the same campuses of cases. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with measles at P ≤ 0.05. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to measure the associations.</p>
