This study investigates the multifaceted factors influencing contraceptive use among women and adolescents
attending Entebbe Grade B Hospital in Uganda. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, both quantitative and
qualitative data were collected to comprehensively evaluate the socioeconomic, cultural, educational, and individual
factors affecting contraceptive uptake. The study involved 150 participants, focusing on demographics, contraceptive
use patterns, and correlations between various factors and contraceptive practices. Findings indicate a moderate
level of contraceptive utilization, with education level, occupation, and parity significantly associated with
contraceptive use. However, limited awareness of the broader benefits of family planning suggests the need for
enhanced education and awareness campaigns. While the study provides valuable insights, further research
incorporating rural populations and qualitative methodologies is recommended to better understand cultural
influences and societal perceptions surrounding contraception
