Abstract: Objective: To investigate the contraceptive cognition, attitude and practice in male partners of unwanted pregnancy women, so as to provide a reference for reducing some unwanted pregnancies. Methods：Male partners who are accompanied with their female partners undergoing the induced abortion were investigated by the self-administered questionnaires from October 2017 to March 2019. The key factors affecting male contraceptive cognition and attitude were analyzed. Results：A total of 984 questionnaires were efficient. Most of the surveyed males have a certain awareness of contraception, and condom is the most widely-used contraceptive method. Two main reasons that men cannot insist on using condoms were: taking the trouble of contraception, and having the fluke mind that not taking contraceptives once will not lead to pregnancy. The group of male partners with low education level, low income, unemployed, freelancers and migrant workers were less motivated in contraception. Conclusions：The promotion of reproductive health and contraceptive-related cognition for low-income and low-education male-aged males should be strengthened, and the development and application of male contraceptives should be emphasized.
