Around 4% were unaware of the LARC method. Of total, 76.50% women procured the LARC methods information from health care workers, whereas 40% attained from friends, family members, neighbors, or colleagues. After counseling, the majority (58%) were willing for subdermal implant. About 27.50% and 13.50% were willing for copper IUD insertion and injection DMPA, respectively. None was willing for Mirena. Acceptability of various LARC methods was scaled on an acceptability score from 0 to 10. For Cu IUD, implanon and DMPA, the acceptability score was 10 in 50%, 40.17% and 25%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There are still gaps of knowledge about benefits and safety of available LARC methods.
