Current use of modern contraceptives among young people 10 - 24 years in Central and Western Uganda: a cross-sectional study
Young people aged 10-24 in central and western Uganda were well-informed about modern contraceptives, especially injectables and condoms, but less knowledgeable about emergency contraceptives. Students used modern contraceptives more than non-students, while those aged 20-24 and not cohabiting with partners were less likely to use them. Awareness campaigns for 20-24-year-olds and those living with partners are necessary to increase usage.
