Despite high knowledge (99.2%) and attitude (63.7%), a history of contraceptive use could be elicited in 43.8% of study subjects. The most common contraceptive methods used previously were oral contraceptive pills followed by the barrier method of contraception. A significant association was found between contraceptive use and age of the woman, urban or rural background, and marital status. Unplanned sex or infrequent sex was the most common reason for the nonuse of contraceptives followed by fear of side effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Enhancement of knowledge of contraceptive users through adequate information by health care providers can be helpful.
