*2.5.2.1 Contraceptives knowledge*

Lack of contraceptive knowledge is one of the barriers to contraceptive use. A high proportion of women of reproductive age group lack adequate knowledge on the benefits of contraceptives. This has adversely affected the use of available forms of contraceptives in low and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Conversely, women with higher knowledge of contraceptives tend to make use of them more for their sexual and reproductive health and wellbeing.
