Data were collected using pre-tested, interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Modified Poisson regression employed measure prevalence ratios, while both bivariate multivariable analyses performed identify potential variables further analysis determine factors with acceptable score, respectively. Result Among women, 8.15% (95% CI: 6.26, 10.55) had poor, 14.89% 12.33, 17.87) borderline, 76.96% 73.52, 80.07) While 31.97% suffering under nutrition.

Background Birth control methods (BCMs) are often underutilized or misunderstood, especially among young individuals entering their reproductive years. With the growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) platforms for health-related information, this study evaluates performance of ChatGPT-4o and Google Gemini in addressing commonly asked questions about BCMs. Methods Thirty questions, derived from American College Obstetrics Gynecologists (ACOG) website, were posed to both AI platforms. Questions spanned four categories: general contraception, specific contraceptive types, emergency other topics. Responses evaluated using a five-point rubric assessing Relevance, Completeness, Lack False Information (RCL). Overall scores calculated by averaging scores. Statistical analysis, including Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, Friedman Kruskal-Wallis was performed compare metrics. Results provided high-quality responses birth control-related queries, with overall 4.38 ± 0.58 4.37 0.52, respectively, categorized as "very good" "excellent." demonstrated higher lack false based descriptive statistics (4.70 0.60 vs. 4.47 0.73), while outperformed relevance, statistically significant difference (4.53 0.57 4.30 0.70, p = 0.035, large effect size).

Within-model variability showed had more pronounced metrics (moderate size, Kendall's W 0.357), exhibited smaller (Kendall's 0.165).
