Types of analytical survey research with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was done using purposive sampling techniques. The research population of all couples of childbearing age in Tinelo Village, Tilango District amounted to 359 with a sample of 189 respondents. The data was analyzed with the chi-square test.
