The research results revealed that 56.02% used traditional family planning and 43.98% used modern family planning. Results: The analysis results showed that there was an influence of the information received on the choice of contraceptives (p=0.04 and OR=0.67). This means that the information received by WUS is 0.67 times more likely to choose a modern contraceptive method. Then there was an influence of the information received on the choice of contraceptives based on 34 provinces in Indonesia, obtained at p=0.001.
