This study titled "Assessment of Contraceptive Utilization Among Undergraduate Students in Kailali District, Nepal" explores the prevalence of contraceptive utilization, awareness levels, and associated complications among bachelor’s in education first-year students in selected educational institutions. The research, conducted through a descriptive cross-sectional comparative study design, involved 570 respondents. Findings revealed that 43% of respondents reported using contraceptive methods, indicating a significant engagement in family planning practices among undergraduate students. Furthermore, 97% of participants reported awareness of contraceptive methods, emphasizing the effectiveness of educational initiatives in disseminating reproductive health information. Among contraceptive users, 7% opted for Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC), while 36% preferred short-term methods. However, challenges associated with contraceptive utilization, such as unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and sterility, were identified. Qualitative findings from the study highlight additional complications faced by students, including an increase in post-abortion care cases and instances of death related to contraceptive use. The study underscores the importance of comprehensive reproductive health education and access to a variety of contraceptive options to meet the diverse needs of young adults. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach, including policy interventions, healthcare system strengthening, and continued research to inform evidence-based practices in reproductive health promotion among undergraduate populations in Nepal.
