Implication

Cross-sectional study revealed high contraceptive knowledge but low uptake among married women, indicating barriers that need addressing.

Key Points

  • Despite high contraceptive knowledge at 94.4%, usage remains limited due to fears of side effects and perceived risks.
  • Only 70% of married women aged 15-45 reported using contraception, with condoms being the most common method at 33.3%.
  • Fear of side effects was a major barrier, with 93.5% of those fearing adverse effects not using contraception.
  • Community-based interventions are essential to address misconceptions and improve contraceptive adoption among women.
