Prevalence and Impact of Contraceptive Misconceptions Among Married Women in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia
The findings indicate that widespread misconceptions about contraceptives persist among married women in Al-Ahsa. These beliefs significantly limit the optimal use of family planning methods, despite relatively high educational attainment in the population. The study highlights an urgent need for targeted, culturally sensitive interventions to correct misinformation and improve women's reproductive health outcomes.
