The use of contraceptives among believers tends to be low. This can be attributed to traditional values that are still very strong in society, where the concept of extended family and the continuity of offspring are considered very important. Nevertheless, efforts have been made to provide understanding and education about the importance of family planning and reproductive health, so that people can choose wisely about the use of contraceptives according to their needs and values. This study aims to analyze the determinants of contraceptive use in adherents of the Mappurondo faith school in Mamasa Regency, West Sulawesi Province, using the 2022 National Population and Family Planning Agency's Family Data Collection Update data set. The population is all families adhering to the Mappurondo faith school in Mamasa district, a sample of 431 couples of childbearing age, with sample criteria that include married women between the ages of 15 and 49 years old, whether they use contraceptives or not.
