Aim- The cross sectional study was conducted for investigating the awareness and understanding of contraceptive methods among women experiencing an unmet need for family planning.Materials and methods- The study involved interviewing 100 women living with their husbands. Through a predesigned questionnaire, socio-demographic parameters, awareness of contraceptive methods, and actual contraceptive practices were evaluated. Data analysis was done using SPSS software.Results- In the study, when evaluating the number of contraceptive methods known among the participants, the distribution was as follows: 13% of women knew none of the contraceptive methods, 42% were aware of one method, 30% knew two methods, 7% were knowledgeable about three methods, 4% knew four methods, 3% were aware of five methods, and only 1% knew about six contraceptive methods.Conclusion-Despite high levels of knowledge on contraception, the persistence of unmet need suggests that deficiencies in knowledge or other factors contribute to this issue, highlighting the importance of further examining the social and cultural determinants of contraceptive use in more detail.
