ABSTRACT

India has the second-largest population in the world. The higher fertility in India is attributed to the universality of marriage, low level of literacy, limited use of contraceptives, and traditional way of life. The role of men has always been considered to dominate in the decision-making process about women's fertility and birth spacing. Getting men involved in family planning programs will lead to an increase in using contraceptive methods and consequently will improve the continuous use of the methods. The survey addressed knowledge related to family planning methods. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to examine associations with demographic variables, including Age, Education, occupation, Income of family, and type of family. The study revealed knowledge regarding family planning methods. Demographic analysis indicated that certain variables, including age, education, occupation, and family income had high significant influence on knowledge. In conclusion, the study's findings highlight the association between the knowledge of family planning methods towards demographic variables. These findings suggest that interventions and educational programs aimed at improving knowledge should be tailored..
