“…This is because a high number of inhabitants of Dallas slums are of Swahili descendent who are pre-dominantly Muslim. These findings mirror findings by Shabanikiya et al in whose study the participants were mainly Protestants (19) . Most participants (43.3%) in the study had a secondary level of education.…”

“…This finding refutes those by Kiprotich (12) , Adelekan et al (20) , and Kassa et al (25) which had indicated low male participation. However, this finding is in tandem with that of Shabanikiya et al (19) which indicated a high level of men participation. This high level of participation could be due to increased contraceptive knowledge since men having adequate contraceptive knowledge are more likely to be involved (22) .…”

Background: Maternal morbidity and mortality is a global health concern. Use of modern contraceptive has the potential of reducing maternal mortality by two thirds. However, the prevalence of modern contraceptives is low especially in sub–Saharan Africa region. Male participation has been promoted as one of the strategies to increase contraceptive prevalence. The objective of the study was to determine the influence of contraceptive knowledge on participation in partner contraceptive use among married or in-union men. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out in Dallas Sub-location of Embu County involving married or in-union men aged 18 to 64 years. Data was corrected using a semi-structured questionnaire developed and administered by the researcher. SPSS version 28.0 was used to analyze data. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data whereas Chi-square was used to test relationship at 95% CI. Results: Most participants (37.9%, n=89) were aware of three or more modern contraceptive methods with about three quarter (75.2%, n=155) aware of oral contraceptive pills. A significant relationship was established between the participants contraceptive knowledge and number of children (p=0.021) as well as highest academic qualification (p=0.011). Most participants (86.3%, n=202) indicated that they participated in their partner’s use of modern contraceptives. The correlation between knowledge and men participation was not significant (p=0.674). Conclusion: Men had adequate contraceptive knowledge and high level of participation in their partner’s modern contraceptive use. The level of knowledge did not significantly influence their participation. Key words: Abortion, contraceptive knowledge, modern contraceptives, men participation, Kenya
