Among the convenience sample of 276 women, 64.4% were younger than 35 years of age, most were well educated, and had an above average income. Eighty percent of respondents believed that Islam allowed the use of contraception to prevent pregnancy, and 85.1% believed that it allowed for the treatment of menstrual disorders.

Belief was related to higher income or educational level, headscarf use, and being Muslim from birth. Of the reproductive age sexually experienced participants, 96.5% reported ever using any contraceptive method. The most commonly ever-used methods included oral contraceptive pills (72.5%), male condoms (68.9%), coitus interruptus (39.9%), and intrauterine devices (21.2%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The vast majority of American Muslim women surveyed believe that their religion permits use of reversible contraceptive methods.
