Methods: We conducted a 1:1 unmatched case-control study using structured-questionnaires from April 23 to May 26, 2018 in Adaba district Ethiopia. The cases were 2-59 month’s old children who visited under-five clinics and diagnosed for CAP. The controls were children 2-59 months age who were apparently healthy and live in the community from which the cases came. We identified cases from health facility and controls by conducting house-to-house surveys. Result: A total of 528 children aged 2-59 months) took part with a response rate of 95%. Age of the child, 2-11 months (AOR=5.78, 95% CI 2.94, 11.41) and 12-23 months (AOR=4.17, 95% CI 2.22, 7.83), overcrowding (AOR=2.21, 95%-CI 1.10, 4.45) children usually located on mothers back or kept besides the mother when the mothers cook food (AOR=4.33, 95% CI 2.16, 8.68), sever stunting (AOR=3.76, 95% CI=1.58,8.93) wasting (AOR=4.77, 95% CI=1.91, 11.91) and diarrhea (AOR=5.99, 95% CI=2.91, 12.33) were risk factors. Conclusion: Age of the child, household-crowding, keeping the child with the mother while the mother cooks food, undernutrition (stunting and wasting) and diarrhea were risk of CAP. The district health office with its partners has to work to improve nutritional status of the children and existing CAP and diarrheal preventive and control methods must be strengthened and due attention should be given to children aged less than two years of old.},
