dc.description.abstractAim: Many training programs for females about contraception have been developed. In this study, we aimed to investigate the perspectives of males on contraception and their knowledge on reproductive health. Material and Method: Husbands of pregnant women who presented in our obstetric clinic were invited to complete a questionnaire. Results: A total of 178 men answered our questionnaire. Among their wives, 11.1% (17/153) terminated their at least one unintended pregnancy. 142 of them (79.8%) knew about modern contraceptive methods, and 104 (58.4%) of them used at least one of these methods. Condoms were perceived as the best contraceptive method for 46.1% (35/76) because of their easiness to use and cheapness, and 41.7% (25/60) of the participants stated that they would like to use condom from then on. 55.6% (40/72) stated that they would never use oral contraceptives because of their possible side effects on their wives. 20 of the questions addressed to the participants were about reproductive health. The participants answered approximately 70% of all questions correctly. The correct answering rate for every question ranged between 39.6% and 96.1%. Discussion: In our study, we investigated attitudes and knowledge about contraception and reproductive health among men who were married and fertile. The findings from this study can provide a foundation for further education programs for men in these areas.
