Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the correlates of contraceptive use among married women of reproductive age in Adilabad District. Contraceptive utilization is a crucial aspect of family planning and reproductive health, influencing population dynamics and maternal and child health outcomes. A total of [insert number] married women aged [insert age range] were enrolled as participants. Data were collected through structured interviews, covering socio-demographic factors, knowledge about contraceptives, attitudes towards family planning, and accessibility to contraceptive services. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were employed to identify significant correlates of contraceptive use. The findings revealed various factors associated with contraceptive utilization, providing valuable insights for policymakers and healthcare providers to develop targeted interventions and enhance family planning services in the region.
