Association of men’s contraceptive knowledge, attitude and behavior with modern contraceptive use: evidence from Nepal demographic health survey 2022
This study highlights significant role of men's KAB in the utilization of modern contraception among married men in Nepal. Contraceptive use can be promoted by enhancing the knowledge of men, developing a positive attitude, and encouraging supportive behaviors regarding reproductive health. The appropriate use of contraceptives can improve the reproductive health outcomes of both men and women. Providing a conducive environment for men to learn more about reproductive health including contraception is a key to positive health outcomes in Nepal.
