1.3 JUSTIFICATION FOR THE STUDY
Over the years, especially in Africa, the need for contraception and
control of population using female methods of the pill, injectables etc
have been adapted. Before now only the condom and withdrawal method has
been used by men.
The increasing need for male
contraception cannot be over-emphasized as humans are more aware of the
fact that, there need to be a greater co-operation between spouses for
family and reproductive health to grow and blossom; with greater
understanding that everyone involved will contribute their quota to the
success of the family.
To this extent therefore, there is
the dire need for the study of this nature to identify the
contraceptive devices possibly of use now, the knowledge of their use,
how well adolescent comply with their use, in order to educate them so
that they could have a good beginning in their understanding of choosing
when to have children and when not to. This is done with the wisdom
that a good beginning when well nurtured will bring about a good end.
This study will give us an overview of the perception or knowledge, the
usage or practice of contraception among these adolescent which will
again enable us to educate them on what good practice of family or
reproductive health should be. This will translate into a better moral
upbringing of the society around us.
On-Going Research:
There are many ongoing research projects into different methods of male
contraception. Researchers are optimistic that a safe, effective method
of male contraceptive will eventually become a reality, although this
is still several years away.6
The two main areas of research into male contraception include:
a.
Hormonal Contraception – where synthetic hormones are used to
temporarily stop the development of healthy sperm.
b. Non-Hormonal Methods – where other techniques are used to stop healthy sperm from entering a women’s vagina.
1.4 GENERAL OBJECTIVE

lead to secondary infertility in later life.
