摘要

In this study we analysed the different methods of contraception use in the Urban and Rural Areas of Rawalpindi and to determine the factors affecting its use and non-use. We analysed the safety factors and the results that showed the most of the women in the Rural area responded to the question regarding the safety of contraception in a positive way and use it because than thought that it use is safe, same is the case in the women of Urban area but the positive response is comparatively less than that from the Rural area this can be because of the fact that women in the Rural area are not aware of the side effects and even if they experience it they don’t consider it a major reason to discontinue the use of contraception. While the 2nd objective was the comparison of factors affecting use and non-use of contraception .The percentage of safety factors among rural area was 62% and urban area was 50%.In last we analysed the use of contraceptives under control or wish by husband’s. The result was 40.50% by husbands under control, 31% by wife, and 28.50% by both. The study was a house hold survey and was also conducted with conveniently available teachers and lady office employee in the urban area.
