Consequently, family
planning initiatives should
prioritize younger,
unmarried adolescents and
those with lower education
levels. Additionally, efforts
should go beyond ensuring
the availability and
accessibility of
contraceptives by
addressing cultural
misconceptions that may
hinder their use. Since
modern contraceptive use
is linked to various adverse
outcomes that could limit
future opportunities for
adolescents, the
government and relevant
stakeholders should
strengthen outreach and
community-based
programs focused on
improving youth sexual
and reproductive health.

participants in the study
generally have a positive
attitude towards using
contraceptives. They
understand the importance
of family planning,
appreciate the benefits,
and are willing to share
this knowledge. Third, the
women in the study are
mostly good at using
contraceptives, focusing on
communication, informed
decision-making, and using
them for health and
socioeconomic reasons.
Fourth, overall, indigenous
women have a positive
view of contraceptives,
recognizing their role in
family planning and
valuing women’s health.
This positive attitude can
contribute to responsible
family planning. The study
also shows that the women
use a variety of
contraceptive methods,
with pills, condoms, IUDs,
and implants being the
most popular. Additionally,
the level of education and
age influence
contraceptive use, with
higher education levels
linked to a higher
likelihood of using pills and
condoms, while younger
women tend to prefer
implant rods. In summary,
the findings highlight the
importance of
comprehensive education
programs, better access to
various contraceptive
methods, and addressing
cultural beliefs and
misconceptions to improve
reproductive health
outcomes among
indigenous women in
