Abstract
Uncontrolled population growth is a global concern. Adoption of family planning is crucial to limiting the unsustainable growth of the population. This exponential growth of the population puts a large stress on the finite resources worldwide. The magnitude of the burden is further increased in developing and underdeveloped countries where there is a paucity of resources. With majority of population in India in reproductive age group, adoption of family planning methods will not only play an important role in stabilizing the population but will also significantly contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. We did the study to determine the prevalence and pattern of contraceptive usage in women attending our OPD in an urban hospital in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
