| Abstract |
Family planning (FP) is a component of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and refers to the human right of individuals to regulate the number and spacing of birth. In Malaysia, contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) during the past three decades has remained stagnant, with only 34-35% of women practicing modern contraception, this number relatively low compared to global rate and neighboring countries (Najimudeen, 2014). |
