This is a cross-sectional study using secondary data from IDHS 2017. The analysis used in this study is Chi-Square test and Cox Regression test. The results found that there are significant association between age (APR = 1,4; 95% CI = 1,28-1,56), education level (APR = 1,3; 95% CI = 1,18-1,44), economic status (APR=1,2; 95% CI=1,05-1,33), parity (APR = 1,4; 95% CI = 1,24-1,51), knowledge of contraception (APR = 1,5; 95% CI = 1,32-1,59), source of contraception service (APR = 2; 95% CI = 1,80-2,20), family planning information exposure (APR = 1,1; 95% CI = 1,00-1,21), and partner support to the utilization of LTCM (APR = 1,7; 95% CI = 1,13-2,68). Source of contraception service is the predominant factor in this study (APR = 2; 95% CI = 1,80-2,20).]]>
