Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Lebanese women toward the use of oral contraceptive pills.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite widespread use, many Lebanese women have limited understanding of oral contraceptive pills (OCP), with misinformation and cultural barriers contributing to misuse and discontinuation. Additionally, the non-contraceptive benefits of OCP are often overlooked. Addressing these gaps can promote safer use and improve women's health. This study aims to explore Lebanese women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding OCP and identify associated factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured questionnaire among Lebanese women aged between 18- and 49-years old shopping in local pharmacies. Multivariable analyses were employed to investigate the factors associated with knowledge, attitude, practices toward OCP usage.
