ABSTRACT- Contraception is an effort made to prevent pregnancy. This effort can be either temporary or permanent. Contraception refers to the tools or methods used to space pregnancies and control birth rates. Several factors influence the use of contraceptive methods among couples of reproductive age, including cost and side effects. Knowledge is the result of knowing, which occurs after a person is exposed to or studies a particular object. Knowledge or cognition is a crucial domain in shaping an individual’s behavior. Attitude is a closed response to a stimulus or object, involving opinions and emotions (such as liking, disliking, agreeing, or disagreeing). The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of couples of reproductive age regarding contraceptive methods. This study is a quantitative research using a case-control approach, which is a study design used to compare two groups: one group with a certain condition or disease (cases) and another without the condition (controls). The population of this study consists of all couples of reproductive age in the working area of Supnin Health Center, Raja Ampat, totaling 150 couples. The statistical test used was the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes about contraceptive methods and the use of contraceptives among couples of reproductive age, with a p-value of 0.001. Therefore, the conclusion drawn is that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes regarding contraceptive methods and contraceptive use among couples of reproductive age in the Supnin Health Center working area of Raja Ampat.
