The study adopted a cross sectional survey design involving rural women of reproductive age (15-49 years) selected from Delta, Bayelsa, and River States. Data were obtained through structured questionnaires administered to 420 respondents, of which 414 copies were valid for analysis. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed for data analysis. Findings revealed that awareness and knowledge of contraceptives significantly influenced the adoption of modern contraceptive methods were condoms, pills, injectables, and implants.
