In 2012, the Center for Health Research Universitas Indonesia (CHR-UI), in collaboration with Center for Communication Program of Johns Hopkins University (CCP), the Ministry of Health and the National Population and Family Planning Board conducted a baseline cross-sectional study under the Improving Contraceptive Methods Mix (ICMM) project in selected districts of East Java and Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) Province. In East Java, of women aged 15 to 49 years using modern contraceptives, only 19% used LAPMs (8% used IUD, 5% used implants, and 6% underwent sterilization).2 In NTB Province, only 19% used LAPMs (10% used implant, 7% used IUD, and 3% underwent sterilization).2

N2 - This analysis aimed at examining the association between the level of knowledge about long-acting/permanent methods of contraceptives (LAPM) and nonuse of LAPM among currently married, nonpregnant, and fecund women aged 15 to 49 years intending to limit childbearing. Data were derived from a cross-sectional study in Tuban, Kediri, and Lumajang District (East Java Province) and Lombok Barat, Lombok Timur, and Sumbawa District (Nusa Tenggara Barat Province) in June 2012. Information was obtained from 4323 respondents. Using multivariate logistic regression, we found that women with moderate levels of LAPM knowledge were less likely to use LAPM than women with high levels of knowledge (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.01, 95% CI = 1.51-2.68). Women with low level of LAPM knowledge were less likely to use LAPM than women with high levels of knowledge (aOR = 4.25, 95% CI = 3.37-5.36). Efforts to strengthen counseling services and increased provider knowledge and counselling skills are important to improve women’s knowledge about and use of LAPM.
