Abstract

The increase of population affects many aspects of society, including living conditions, basic needs, employment status and most importantly the health system. It is thus imperative to adequately plan family size in order to build a stable society. But despite of the availability of family planning programs where most methods of contraception are available both in the rural and urban health centers, literatures shows that population growth is still at rise. Thus the researcher became curious of the knowledge, attitude and practices of couples in family planning. The study tried to assess the level of awareness and practices of family planning methods among couples in a selected Barangay in Tacloban City. It tried to seek the demographic profile of the respondents, their level of awareness and practices on the different family planning methods, and establish if there is any relationship between their level of awareness and demographic profile. This study followed a quantitative research model using an explorative and descriptive design to assess the level of awareness and practices of family planning practices among families in a selected barangay.
