The type of research used is a quantitative design using a cross-sectional study design approach. The sampling used a non-probability sampling method with an accidental sampling technique; the number of samples was 290—analyzed with the chi-square correlation test. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and compliance with family planning acceptors (P-Value 0.000 <0.05).
