Introduction: Effective contraception can prevent unplanned pregnancies and unsafe abortions. The extent of acceptance of contraceptivemethods still varies within societies and also among different castes and religious groups. The factors responsible for such varied picture operate at the individual, family and community level with their roots in the socio-economic and cultural milieu of Indian Society. Objectives: The objective of the present study was to determine and compare the contraceptive practices adopted by educated and uneducated unmarried females attending an urban health center of Bhopal city. Methodology: A cross sectional descriptive study of four months duration was conducted among unmarried females (educated & uneducated) attending general out-patient department in Urban Health Centre (UHC) employing convenience sampling method. Participants not willing to respond were excluded. Total of 100 females (50 educated & 50 uneducated) were selected as study participants. Every participant was interviewed face to face with pre-tested questionnaire after taking informed consent. The Statistical software IBM SPSS statistics 20.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Mean age of the study participants was 20.46 years in educated group and 20.08 years in uneducated group. All the participants in the educated group (100.0%) knew what contraception was, whereas in uneducated group only 34.0% knew what contraception was and this was found to be statistically significant (P value: <0.001). Around half of the educated females knew about safe period whereas in uneducated group only 20.0% females knew about safe period (P value: <0.001). About 66% of educated females found it easy to acquire contraceptive methods in comparison to only 12% uneducated females who found it easy (P value: <0.001). Around 72.0% of uneducated females felt guilty while using contraceptives in comparison to only 16.0% of educated females who felt guilty while using contraceptives (P value: <0.001). Conclusion: The results suggest a significant Knowledge – Application Gap with regards to contraceptives knowledge andtheir actual usage in study participants. This shows the need for more intense awareness campaigns for promoting contraceptive usage especially among uneducated youths.
