This study highlights significant socioeconomic inequalities in CU among Kurdish women in western Iran. Higher-income women tend to use temporary methods, while lower-income women more often undergo tubectomy. These disparities underscore the need for targeted interventions. Policymakers should focus on improving access to a variety of contraceptive options and enhancing educational initiatives to promote equity in reproductive health
