Long acting reversible contraception methods (LARCs) are ideal pregnancy prevention options for many women compared with shorter-term methods. Aim: to assess the current barriers and management strategy to increase the use of LARCs. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional design was used. Setting: Conducted at 5 family planning units at Sharkia governorate, Egypt. Subjects: A representative sample of 225 woman who were attended the selected family planning units between the period from January to December 2020. Tools: Two tools were used to collect the study data; socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire and barriers of LARCs questionnaire. Results: The women mean age was 30±7 years. The main barriers against the use of LARCs were cognitive barriers followed by requiring woman to return for check-ups and socio cultural barriers (50.7%, 15.6%, 14.6%) respectively. Conclusion: The utilization of short acting contraceptive methods is higher than long acting methods and cognitive barriers were the main barriers for LARC utilization. Recommendations: Increase women's awareness about the importance of using family planning methods especially LARCs.
