Despite efforts to increase contraceptive use, there are still substantial gaps in our understanding of the factors that influence women's contraceptive choices and utilization.

According to this study's findings, 81% of respondents are knowledgeable. 97.5 % of respondents learned about family planning from their male partners, 97.5% from the hospital, 3.7% from family, 6.2 % from friends and neighbors, 1.2% from a Pastor, 16.0% from a health care provider, and 6.5% from the media. Based on the findings, 51.1% of respondents are currently using family planning. 66.1% have used it for less than five years. 8.3 % are using oral pills, 16.7% are using condoms, 49.4% are using injectables, 17.9 % are using implants, and 7.8% use other methods such as emergency pills, withdrawal, calendar method, etc. From the result it can be seen that 92.3% of respondents are satisfied with their method, 37.0% decide on contraceptive use, 54.4% decide on child spacing with their spouse, 54.4% decide on their own, and 75.4% have time for a follow-up visit.
