A comparative study of 200 adult women of reproductive age (18 to 45 years) was conducted to assess effect of higher academic education on the family planning awareness. A stratified random sample of women volunteers who attended health check-up or health awareness camps in an urban slum of Mumbai was selected and divided in to two groups. Group A included 100 women who had minimum education up to graduation. Group B included 100 women who had education less than 10 th standard. Using an interview technique, each woman respondent was requested to answer 12 questions. It was observed that two groups of women respondents were almost similar on socio-demographics but formal education had enhanced awareness status among Group A as compared to Group B respondents. However a significant number of women in Group A lacked proper awareness about family planning practices. The study findings emphasized the need of imparting sex education including family planning awareness programs even in educated clients like high school and college students.
