Lower levels of contraceptive uptake are observed among Muslim women than women of other faiths. This study investigated the determinants of contraceptive use among Muslim women of child bearing age in Mbale city in Uganda. This community based cross-sectional study was conducted among 374 Muslim women using interviewer administered electronic questionnaires. The mean age of the participants was 338.8 years. The proportion of Muslim women who were currently using contraceptives was 32%. The associated factors included acceptability of family planning in the community (AOR=2.2,95% CI: 1.104–4.314, p=0.025), desire to have more children later (AOR=6.8, 95% CI: 2.646–17.583, p<0.000), and counselling from a health worker on family planning (AOR=10.9, 95% CI: 5.372–22.013, p<0.001). The contraceptive use was relatively low among Muslim women. There is need to strengthen community-based family planning programs while engaging religious/community leaders and intensifying family planning counselling by health workers.Item Individual factors associated with utilization of HIV self-testing services among adolescent girls and young women between 15-24 years in Iganga District, a cross-sectional study.(Student’s Journal of Health Research Africa, 2025-06) Naziru,Rashid; Nangobi,Zikula; Babatunde, Aremu Abdulmujeeb; Mwebaza, Muluya Kharim; Zziwa,SwaibuItem Neonatal Mortality and Associated Factors among Neonates in Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, Western Uganda(Journal of Maternal and Child Health, 2026) Naziru,Rashid; Irumba,Henry; Babatunde, Aremu Abudulmujeeb; Zziwa,Swaibu; Andama,Adinani; Nguza,James; Byobona,Amina; Alhassan, Usman Tanimu Muhammad; Nankinga,Ziada; Nakitende,Sumayah; Mwebaza, Muluya KharimItem Reported Adverse Events (Side Effects) Following COVID-19 Vaccination Among University Students and Staff:(East African Health Research Journal, 2025) Naziru,Rashid; Nabukeera, Madinah Ssebyala; Tamale,Francis; Mukasa,Zakariyah; Turyagumanawe,John; Daama,Alex; Babatunde,Areemu Abdul Mujeeb; Zziwa,Swaibu; Mwebaza, Muluya KharimItem Retention in care of HIV-exposed infants and associated infant and maternal factors in Teso Sub Region, Eastern Uganda(Springer Nature, 2026) Naziru,Rashid; Logose,Barbara Shalah; Kafeero,Hussein Mukasa; Walusansa,Abdul; Babatunde,Aremu Abudulmujeeb; Mwebaza, Muluya Kharim; Auca,Agnes; Nankinga,Ziada; Akugizibwe,Pardon; Zziwa,Swaibu
