Abstract
This study investigates the multifaceted factors influencing contraceptive use among women and adolescents attending Entebbe Grade B Hospital in Uganda. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected to comprehensively evaluate the socioeconomic, cultural, educational, and individual factors affecting contraceptive uptake. The study involved 150 participants, focusing on demographics, contraceptive use patterns, and correlations between various factors and contraceptive practices. Findings indicate a moderate level of contraceptive utilization, with education level, occupation, and parity significantly associated with contraceptive use. However, limited awareness of the broader benefits of family planning suggests the need for enhanced education and awareness campaigns. While the study provides valuable insights, further research incorporating rural populations and qualitative methodologies is recommended to better understand cultural influences and societal perceptions surrounding contraception. Keywords: Access; Awareness; Education; Socioeconomic status; Cultural norms.
