Abstract: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the factors related to the acceptance of contraceptives among married women of reproductive age in an urban city in Aranyaprathet district, Sakaeo province, Thailand. The aim was to identify the socio demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude and accessibility factors related to the acceptance of contraceptive methods. Two hundred and seventy five married women of reproductive age, 15 to 49 years old, from five communities were purposively selected and interviewed using structured questionnaires during January 2004. The results of this study revealed that the prevalence of contraceptive use was similar to the national rate (74.5%). Oral pills were the most popular contraceptive used followed by tubectomy as the second choice. Knowledge of the women about IUD was poor with low acceptance among users. 81.5 % of current users did not want more children. About one-third of respondents felt that many children were a valuable asset, while two-third stated that they were a burden. 61.8% of the respondents had 2- 3 children and had no sex preference. About half of the respondents had a fair knowledge of contraception and an equal proportion of the women had a positive or negative attitude towards family planning. Men shared a low responsibility in family planning, only 2% used condoms and another 2% had had a vasectomy. Most contraceptive information was acquired from health personnel; relatives/friends, and the main sources of contraceptive services were community hospitals and pharmacies. Nearly all of the women were satisfied with family planning, most of them who had a residence more than 1 Km from the service center tended to use contraceptives more than those who lived less than 1 Km away. The family planning in this study area was effective and dynamic.
