<![CDATA[The use of implant contraceptives in couples of childbearing age is still relatively low compared to short-term contraceptive methods such as pills and injections. One of the factors that affect the low selection of implant contraceptives is the level of public knowledge about how it works, benefits, side effects, and installation procedures. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and interest in choosing implant contraceptives in women of childbearing age at the Babang Health Center, South Halmahera Regency. The study uses a quantitative method with a correlation analytical design and a cross sectional approach. The study population is all couples of childbearing age in the working area of the Babang Health Center with a sample of 30 respondents determined through total sampling techniques. Data analysis was carried out bivariously using the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and interest in choosing implant contraception, as evidenced by the p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings confirm that the higher the level of knowledge, the greater the interest in using implant contraceptives. Therefore, efforts to increase public knowledge through reproductive health education, understanding of parity, and information about various contraceptive methods are needed to encourage the use of implant contraceptives in the community.]]>
