  abstract: ABSTRACT: Background: male involvement in family planning (FP) means more than increasing the number of men using condoms and having vasectomies and also encourages and supports their partner and their peers to use FP. Men hold positions of leadership and influence from the family unit right through the national level. Men are frequently described as the forgotten reproductive health clients, part in FP services and perinatal care. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 67 men (calculated using sample size calculation formula at 90% CI) to assess their knowledge, attitude and practice on contraceptive decision making and use in slum area of Sinamangal. Semi-structured questionnaire was used through pretesting on 10% of the representative sample. Results: Greater access to health care services, high literacy level, high media coverage and modernization has increased the sharing of knowledge, needs and practice on FP services. The benefit of small family size is a factor for increase in the utilization of FP services and education made significant contribution (p-value<0.05 i.e. 0.003) in the respondent decision on the choice of contracenptive. The increased availability of condom is also the factor for the better understanding about temporary family planning device. Conclusion: The increase understanding about family planning is linked to the increase in practice of contraceptive devices. Share in decision making about FP promotes better family relationship and healthy family environment.
