Assessing the knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning among women living in the Mbouda health district, Cameroon.

Background And Objective: Promotion of family planning has been shown to reduce poverty, hunger, maternal and infant mortality, and contribute to women's empowerment. But many resource-limited countries still have very low rates of contraceptive use. The present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning among women living in a resource-poor rural setting.
