Background: More than 40% of pregnancies worldwide are unintended leading to either an unplanned birth or unsafe abortions and maternal morbidity. India, being the most populous country, have an inherent requirement of knowing KAP of contraception among women of reproductive age to prevent unplanned pregnancies, so as to achieve optimal pregnancy outcome. Methods: A descriptive type of observational cross sectional study, involving 400 women within 18-45 year age group, were interviewed regarding KAP for various contraceptive methods. Results: Statistical analysis of data was done by using chi-square technique. Majority (82.5%) in our study had heard of contraception. In our group, 66.36% had fair knowledge, 31.21% had poor knowledge and 2.42% had good knowledge. Age, education, parity, age at marriage, association of these factors were statistically not significant. Majority (86.06%) had a negative attitude towards contraception because of rural background. Only Age (>20) was found to statistically significant for attitude towards contraception. Our study showed 43.25 % women were currently using contraceptive method, where tubal ligation was most common. Socio-demographic factors like age, education status, age at marriage were found to be statistically significant with practice or usage of contraception. Conclusions: Our study reveals that despite of fair knowledge, majority of women had negative attitude towards contraception, mainly due to rural setup, ignorance, shy nature and family pressure. Despite of fair knowledge about contraceptive methods, there usage is low. Thus, there is need for aggressive advocacy about female reproductive health with dissemination of information about family planning methods among reproductive female.

The adolescent stage is characterized by sexual exploration, sexual maturation, and rapid growth. Individuals in this category are between the ages of 10 and 19 years old. As a result of their characteristics, sexually active adolescent girls are exposed to a greater risk of unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and sexually transmitted infections. Adolescent girls who use contemporary contraceptives effectively can postpone their first pregnancies, lower the risk of maternal death, and have better mother and offspring outcomes when they have early female children. This study aimed to conduct a literature review of contraceptive usage among adolescent females with the view to revealing the empirical evidences in different countries based on already published works, thereby uncovering the most popular modern methods of contraception, exploring the knowledge and awareness of contraceptive services, identifying the factors affecting awareness of contraceptive services, revealing the approaches to utilizing contraceptives, and identifying the factors influencing the utilization of contraceptives, and the barriers militating against its usage.
