planning among women of reproductive age in Fort Portal District. It aimed to understand
the impact of society, peer pressure, and adolescence involvement in modern family
planning methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted, with respondents being females
of reproductive age seeking family planning. Descriptive statistics were used to provide
general characteristics of the data, while quantitative data was explored to identify outliers.

planning methods, indicating they were not influenced by health concerns but by personal
preference and reason for using such methods. The study concluded that facility-related
