Background Adolescent reproductive development between the ages of 10 and 19 requires special attention to reproductive health and the use of contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Although modern contraceptive methods have proven effective, sociocultural barriers and lack of education hinder access and understanding among adolescents. Data indicate variations in contraceptive methods, with preference for injections and birth control pills, making adequate knowledge essential for program success. Therefore, this study aims to assess the level of knowledge regarding contraceptive use in adolescent reproductive health among medical students at Sriwijaya University, Palembang. Methods This study employs a descriptive observational quantitative design using a total sampling technique. The sample consists of active medical students from the 2022–2025 cohorts in the Medical Education Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Sriwijaya University, who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected online using a Google Form questionnaire related to knowledge and perceptions about contraceptive use. Results The majority of respondents achieved good final scores, with 392 individuals (50.3%) scoring well, 339 (43.5%) scoring very well, 44 (5.6%) scoring adequately, and 5 (0.6%) scoring poorly. Furthermore, significant associations were observed between both sex and age among adolescents. Conclusion There is a significant relationship between sex, age, and formal education with students’ knowledge levels regarding contraception. However, participation in workshops or seminars did not significantly influence knowledge levels. This finding may be affected by the non normal distribution of the data, suggesting that formal education plays a more substantial role in shaping students’ knowledge. Keywords Contraception, reproductive health, knowledge, adolescents, medical students.
