An attempt is made in this study to improve the contraceptive use in the slum population by ascertaining some of the demographic, cultural, social, psychological and service factors which influence the use of contraceptives. The study has revealed that even though majority of the slum dwellers are aware of contraceptive methods, the inaccessibility and non-availability of the services to the urban slum dwellers had contributed to a large extent to the non-use of contraceptives.
