Background:Contraceptive use and awareness among young women are crucial for preventing unintended pregnancies and for sexual and reproductive health. Despite increased efforts to enhance contraceptive education and access, gaps in awareness and utilization remain, especially in certain communities. Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of contraceptive awareness and use among young women in a community setting. It seeks to identify factors influencing contraceptive choices and barriers to their use, with the goal of informing future interventions to improve reproductive health services. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional community study involving 250 young women aged 18-30 years. Participants were randomly selected from urban and rural areas of the community. Data were collected through structured interviews, including demographic information, contraceptive awareness, usage patterns, and perceived barriers to contraceptive use. Statistical analyses were performed to identify significant factors associated with contraceptive awareness and use. Results: Of the 250 participants, 180 (72%) reported being aware of at least one contraceptive method. However, only 120 (48%) had ever used contraceptives, and 95 (38%) were currently using a method. The most commonly known and used contraceptive methods were condoms and oral contraceptives. Main barriers to contraceptive use included lack of knowledge, cultural and religious beliefs, fear of side effects, and access issues. Higher education levels were significantly associated with increased awareness and use of contraceptives (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The study reveals moderate levels of contraceptive awareness but lower rates of actual use among young women in the community studied. Educational attainment appears to play a critical role in enhancing awareness and utilization of contraceptives. Interventions aimed at improving contraceptive use should focus on education, addressing misconceptions, and improving access to a wide range of contraceptive methods.
