<![CDATA[Unmet need is defined as the group of women who no longer wish to have children or who wish to space their pregnancies by up to 24 months. The magnitude of unmet need poses a serious problem for the government, not only in relation to the population explosion expected in 2030 but also in relation to the rising maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia. Husbands play a controlling and decisive role in the decision-making process regarding whether their wives will use contraception or not. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of husband support on unmet need for the 3-month injectable contraceptive among couples of reproductive age at the Lolak Community Health Center in Bolaang Mongondow. A cross-sectional study design was used, and the sample consisted of 31 respondents selected using total sampling. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. The data revealed that 17 women (89.5%) received support from their husbands and had unmet family planning needs. After analysis using the chi-square test, a P-value (asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05 was obtained, indicating that there is an effect of husband’s support on unmet need for the 3-month injectable contraceptive among couples of reproductive age. Therefore, H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted, leading to the conclusion that there is an effect of husband’s support on unmet need for the 3-month injectable contraceptive among couples of reproductive age.]]>
