Background: Population explosion has been India's major problem since independence. It is a major obstacle to the overall progress of the nation.

Study population: married women of reproductive age group (15-45 years). Study period: January 2012- July 2013. Study area: field practice area of PHC Sampatchak, Patna. Sample size: 705 using formula n =4p* q/d2. Study tool: pre tested semi-structured proforma. Collected data was analysed using latest version of SPSS. Results: 705 married women of reproductive age group were surveyed and it was found that out of 705 women only 230 (32.65%) were using contraceptive methods. Amongst the users 70.87% were using permanent method of contraception and that too female sterilization. Of the temporary method users (29.13%) 2.60% were using condom, 15.21% were using OCP (oral contraceptive pills) and 11.30% were using IUCD (Intra Uterine Contraceptive Device). Choice of contraceptive method was mostly OCP (71.4%) when duration of marriage was <5 years. Greater the duration of married life more was the acceptance of Tubectomy. The main reasons for non-acceptance of contraceptives method was desire for child (31.17%) followed by fear of side effects (21.05%). Want of male child and opposition by husband accounted for 8.45% &12% respectively. Conclusions: There is tremendous need to increase use of temporary contraceptives for spacing after one or two children. Male involvement in RCH care is essential. It is important to increase their participation as husbands often influence their wife’s decision regarding reproductive health.

Abstract Background: Long-acting reversible contraceptive methods are the most effective, safe, convenient and cost-effective compared to other modern contraceptive methods. The prevalence of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods utilization among married women in the study area was only 5% out of users of all methods and eligible group, which is comparatively low compared to the regional and national targets. Objective: To identify determinants of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods utilization among married women of the reproductive age group in Ambo town, 2016 Methods: Community based unmatched case-control study was conducted in Ambo town among married women of reproductive age group. 140 users and 280 non-users were randomly included. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression was used to identify candidate variables and independent predictor variables respectively. Adjusted odds ratios together with their corresponding 95% CI were calculated to assess the strength of association and statistical significance. Result: 139 users and 279 non-users were interviewed giving a response rate of 99%. Moderate level of knowledge on long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (AOR= 8.73, 95%CI: 3.08 - 24.77), Good level of knowledge (AOR=13.99, 95%CI: 4.93-39.71), spousal discussion on long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (AOR=2.88, 95%CI: 1.3-6.36), positive attitude toward long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (AOR=7.07, 95% CI: 3.77-13.24), Women from households in the poorest wealth quintile (AOR= 6.83, 95%CI: 2.68-17.38), Women from households in the medium wealth quintile (AOR=5.83, 95%CI: (2.23- 15.23) were positive determinants ,whereas intention to give birth in the future (AOR=0.09, 95%CI: 0.02- 0.36) and woman’s expectation of restriction to methods use (AOR=0.2, 95%CI: 0.08- 0.48) were negative determinants of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods utilization. Conclusion: Good knowledge, moderate knowledge, positive attitude, wealth index and spousal discussion were positive determinants, while intention to give birth in the future and woman’s expectation of restriction to method use were negative determinants of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods utilization. Stakeholders should emphasize behavioral change communication to increase knowledge on long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, strengthen inter-spousal discussion and bring a positive attitude toward long-acting reversible contraceptive methods.
