Introduction: Studies from various parts of developing countries reveal that the knowledge of contraception in women is very low. Also use of contraceptive methods varies in various countries and is probably related to local belief. To increase the awareness and actual practice of contraception among married couples, understanding the knowledge and attitude of the patient towards contraception is very much necessary. Aims and Objectives: To assess the knowledge and attitude regarding family planning methods and contraceptive practices among married women of the reproductive age group. Methodology: 500 women in the reproductive age group (15-45 years) attending. Nootan General Hospital, Visnagar, Gujarat, India from 1st December 2020 to 28th February 2021 were interviewed with a predesigned questionnaire after taking informed consent. Results: Most of the women interviewed fall in the age group of 21-30 years (48.6%). 67.4% were married for 5 years. 48.4% were illiterates and only 18.6% had primary education. 477 (95.4%) had heard/aware of the family planning method (permanent/ temporary). About 311 (65.19%) got information from social circles. The importance of and use of contraception has been ex-plained by health personnel to 95 (19.91%) and 71 (14.88%) got it through mass media. 278 (55.6%) were practising different contraceptive methods. 172 (61.87%) women resort to tubal ligation as a contraceptive method of choice and the reason being the completion of their family. None of their husband underwent tubectomy. Only 69 (24.82%) women used various methods for spacing. Conclusion: According to our study, though knowledge of at least one method of contraception was wide among the women still actual practice was very low. More programs are required to combat the influence of various factors on contraception usage and to emphasize the positive effects of the use of contraception.
