Abstract
Background
Female condoms offer unique, female-controlled dual protection against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. This study assessed socio-demographic and individual factors influencing female condom utilization among women aged 18-49 years at Mubende Regional Referral Hospital. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was adopted. Using convenience sampling, 100 women aged 18-49 years attending outpatient, ANC, PNC, and FP clinics were selected. Data were collected using structured interviewer-administered questionnaires, analyzed using SPSS version 26, and presented as frequencies and percentages.
