The use of contraceptives in Tanah Harapan Village is the village with the lowest presentation in the working area of the Palolo Health Center because of the total target population of the 184 family planning program, only 132 couples of childbearing age are family planning acceptors. The Family Planning Program is a program that helps couples of childbearing age to avoid unwanted births, get desired births, regulate birth intervals and determine the number of children in a family, namely through the use of contraceptives.
