This study was designed to find
out the knowledge, attitude and practices of family planning among married
couples in Aboh-Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State. Survey research
design was adopted in carrying out this research. The specific objectives of
the study is to know the level of knowledge of couples about family planning,
the method of family planning they use, the peoples attitude towards family
planning, the people's perception about family planning. The study was guided
by four research questions. The study population was 4220 couples, of which
350-sample size was used. The instrument for data collection was a
well-structured questionnaire. Frequency and percentage statistical tools were
used in analyzing the data. The findings showed that majority of the
respondents have a positive knowledge and negative attitude towards family
planning and they preferred the traditional method of family planning to other
methods. Based on the findings, I recommend that family planning clinics should
be established in the Local Government Areas, in hospitals, health centers
where couples are taught on the importance of family planning to change their
negative attitude.
