dc.description.abstractDespite the variety of modern contraceptives use (MCU) that are easily accessible, the prevalence of risky sexual behaviors (RSB) is rising to the level of a major concern globally. There is still a significant problem with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancies among undergraduate students. Understanding the knowledge of MCU and sexual behaviour among students is important for designing a programme that address unmet needs among university students. This study assessed the knowledge of MCU use and sexual behaviour among students of university of Medical Sciences, Ondo state. The study adopted a cross sectional study design. A sample size 321 students was selected using a cluster sampling technique. Percentage, chi-square test and logistic regression were used to achieve the objectives. Majority (62.3%) of the respondents were ≥ 20years. Female students were in the majority (60.1%). For academic level, 200 level had the highest (39.6), while 600 level had the lowest (2.8%). Most (95%) of the students have heard about MCU. Less than 36% of the students had good knowledge MCU. Pills was the most used (48.3%), followed by male condom (25.2%). Of the 321 students, 75.4% have engaged in sexual intercourse in that last 12 weeks before the survey. About 40% engaged in unprotected sex, 12.3 had more than one sexual partner. At UOR, there is significant relationship between knowledge of modern contraceptive and sexual behavior. The study shows that people who have poor knowledge of modern contraceptives are 1.6 times more likely to have had sexual intercourse in the last 12weeks compared to their counterpart who have good knowledge at (.968, 2.833 ;95% CI). Media exposure, Sex of respondents, Level in academic program and pressure were predictors in this study. Programme that will increase the knowledge of MCU are needed to reduce risk sexual behaviour among students.
