Contraceptive use is one of the indicators of the 2020-2024 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) to create a prosperous society. The NTT Province health profile report in 2023 showed that the number of inactive family planning participants was 40.3%. Wemeda Village is one of the villages that has the lowest number of family planning users compared to other villages. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation of husband support and the number of children to the use of contraceptives by WUS. The type of research is quantitative with a cross sectional design. This research was conducted in Waemeda Village, East Malacca Sub-district, Malacca Regency in November 2022. The population is all women of childbearing age in Waemeda Village, which is 310 people. The sample amounted to 73 people selected using simple random sampling technique.
