Abstract
Introduction :This study investigates the use of oral contraceptives among individuals aged 18-30 years in the urban areas of Lipjan. The research is structured around six main chapters that aim to comprehensively understand various aspects of oral contraceptive use in this demographic. Understanding Oral Contraceptives delves into the mechanisms, types, and modes of action of oral contraceptives, providing a basic knowledge base for subsequent analysis. Patterns of oral contraceptive use examine the prevailing trends, frequency, and consistency of oral contraceptive use among the target population, shedding light on adherence and compliance behaviors. Health Impacts and Risks explores the potential health impacts associated with oral contraceptive use, including beneficial effects and risks such as hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular complications. Factors Influencing Use Decisions investigates the multifaceted determinants that shape individuals' decisions to adopt or refrain from using oral contraceptives, including sociocultural norms, accessibility, and personal beliefs. Challenges and Barriers identifies and analyzes the barriers and difficulties individuals face in accessing and using oral contraceptives, such as affordability, stigma and side effects. Policy and Advocacy evaluates existing policies, initiatives, and advocacy efforts related to oral contraceptive provision and education in Lipjan, assessing their effectiveness and suggesting potential areas for improvement. The study concludes with future directions, proposing recommendations for improving oral contraceptive access, education and support services, and advocating for policy reforms to address identified challenges and promote informed decision-making among youth in Lipjan.
