BROAD OBJECTIVE
To find out the perspective of Medical Students at KIU-WC towards the proposed male contraceptive pill

respondents included in the research were Medical Students studying at KIU-WC. These were students studying BMS, BNS/DNS, BPH and DCM.
DATA MANAGEMENT
Researcher-administered semi-structured questionnaires were used to interview and collect data.
The questionnaire contained open and closed ended questions. Data collected from respondents
was coded using computer software (SPSS).
RESULTS

acceptability. According to the study 64.29% of the respondents were aware of the proposed
male pill while rest of the respondents had never heard of it. Only 44.3% would use or recommend its use, 70.0% were afraid of perceived associated side effects.
