- Abstract:
Introduction: Bangladesh faces significant challenges due to overpopulation, impacting essential resources such as healthcare, employment, and education. This study investigates the role of primary education in influencing contraceptive adoption and examines the socio-economic and educational factors affecting birth control practices in Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in four districts (Sylhet, Habiganj, Sunamganj, and Moulvibazar). These areas were selected to provide a diverse representation of both urban and rural populations. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 160 service recipients. A validated questionnaire was administered face-to-face by trained data collectors. Statistical methods included Chi-square tests, logistic regression modeling, and sensitivity analysis to control for confounding variables. Results: Higher education levels were significantly associated with increased contraceptive use (OR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.58-3.47, p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis confirmed that income, religion, and geographic location were significant predictors of contraceptive adoption. Specifically, 41% of service recipients had secondary education, and 56% earned between 4000-5000 Taka per month. Discussion: This study underscores the importance of primary education in contraceptive adoption and identifies key socio-economic determinants affecting family planning choices. Despite methodological limitations, such as sample size constraints, the findings suggest a need for targeted interventions to enhance educational access and contraceptive awareness, particularly among lower-income groups. Conclusion: Expanding primary education is a critical strategy for population control in Bangladesh. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers and public health professionals, emphasizing the necessity of data-driven interventions and expanded educational programs to enhance birth control awareness and adoption.
