缺乏从哪里获得正确的计划生育(FP)信息和方法的知识可能是最终采用计划生育服务的关键障碍。我们评估了乌干达农村育龄妇女对计划生育方法的了解、来源和使用情况。这项二次分析使用了一项更大规模的横断面研究的数据，以衡量乌干达34个区的2 033名育龄妇女(15-49岁)对长期和可逆避孕措施的看法的变化。对FP方法的使用者和非使用者进行了访谈。使用Stata统计软件12版对数据进行分析。大多数女性年龄在30岁以下(64.3%)。近四分之三的人(73.1%)已婚(73.1%)，51.1%的人受过小学教育，超过一半(57%)的人从事就业。普遍了解FP方法(98.1%)。诊所提供者(60.4%)、朋友(56.9%)和媒体(51.3%)是最受信任的避孕信息来源。政府(27.6%)和私营(21.1%)卫生机构是现代计划生育方法的主要来源。62%的妇女报告目前使用任何计划生育方法。在不使用FP的人群中，注射剂(50.4%)、植入剂(22.8%)和丸剂(20.2%)是最受欢迎的FP方法。我们的发现表明，对计划生育方法的了解几乎是普遍的，每十名妇女中就有六人使用任何计划生育方法。诊所提供者、朋友和媒体是最值得信赖的FP信息来源。政府和私营卫生机构是计划生育服务的主要来源。
Lack of knowledge of where to obtain correct family planning (FP) information and methods can be a critical barrier to eventual uptake of FP services. We assessed knowledge, sources and use of FP methods among women of reproductive age in rural Uganda. This secondary analysis uses data from a larger cross-sectional study conducted to measure changes in perceptions towards long-term and reversible contraceptive use among 2,033 women of reproductive age (15-49years) resident in 34 districts of Uganda. Both users and non-users of FP methods were interviewed. Data were analyzed using STATA statistical software, version 12. Majority of the women were less than 30 years of age (64.3%). Nearly three-quarters were married (73.1%), 51.1% had primary education and more than half (57%) were engaged in employment. Knowledge of FP methods was universal (98.1%). Clinic providers (60.4%), friends (56.9%) and the media (51.3%) were the most trusted sources of contraceptive information. Government (27.6%) and private (21.1%) health facilities were the main sources of modern FP methods. Sixty two per cent of women reported current use of any FP method. Among non-users of FP, injectables (50.4%), implants (22.8%) and pills (20.2%) were the most preferred FP methods. Our findings show that knowledge of FP methods is almost universal and that six in ten women use any FP method. Clinic providers, friends and the media are the most trusted sources of FP information. Government and private health facilities are the main sources of FP services.
