Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The use of mobile health (mHealth) technology is increasingly recognized as a strategy to improve access and quality of family planning services. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between mHealth utilization and contraceptive uptake among women of reproductive age. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted involving 160 women selected through purposive sampling. The independent variable was mobile health utilization, while the dependent variables included contraceptive uptake status, type of contraception, duration of contraceptive use, satisfaction with family planning services, and utilization of family planning services. Data was analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that mobile health utilization was significantly associated with contraceptive uptake status, type of contraception, duration of contraceptive use, satisfaction with family planning services, and utilization of family planning services (p<0.05). These findings indicate that mHealth utilization is closely related to contraceptive behavior and service engagement. Strengthening mobile health interventions may enhance the effectiveness of family planning programs and support increased contraceptive uptake among women of reproductive age.
