The result of the study shows that 30.0% of the respondents have little knowledge and 70.0% of them have good knowledge on vasectomy. Among 42.2% of the respondents do not support the use of vasectomy, while 57.8% show their support in using vasectomy. It can be concluded that almost a half of the respondents have good knowledge on vasectomy and a half of the respondents support the use of vasectomy.
