Majority of them were Catholics (46%) and Anglican (43%). Among young girls that were interviewed in western Uganda majority were in the rich (44%%) and middle class (33%) and the minority were the poor (23%). Majority of the adolescent respondents in western Uganda were never in union/single (83%), married (9%) and the minority were belonged to others (7%). Age and marital status were positively associated with access to family planning services among young girls in Western Uganda (p<0.05). Although some young girls (15-19) had access to modern family planning services in Western Uganda 15 adolescent girls only had access to modern family planning services thus there is the need for the government of Uganda through ministry of health and other stake holders to intensify health education on benefits family planning.
