Abstrakt		The use of modern contraceptives by immigrants may be constrained by various factors such as poor language skills, socio-economic background, and inadequate knowledge. Limited evidence is available on the factors associated with the use of modern contraceptive methods by migrant women in Slovenia. The study included 52 migrants who were treated in a maternity hospital in Slovenia between March and September 2018. Data were collected using a questionnaire that contained items related to sexual and reproductive health. Bivariate analysis (Spearman%s correlation coefficient and Chi square) was used to examine the association between independent variables and the use of contraceptive methods. The study highlights that two main factors affect contraception use: (a) Migrant women with better knowledge of modern contraceptive methods were more likely to use them (r = 0.69; p < 0.05); (b) If the partner/husband has a positive attitude to the use of modern contraceptives, there is a greater probability migrant women will use them (%2 = 14.465; p = 0.001). Based on the results, sexual and reproductive health education for migrant women and men, particularly on the use of modern contraception, is needed.
