5 Σεπ 2023 · Use of contraception advances the human right of people to determine the number and spacing of their children. In 2022, global contraceptive prevalence of any method was estimated at 65% and of modern methods at 58.7% for married or in a union women (3).
Contraceptive prevalence rate is an indicator of health, population, development and women's empowerment. It also serves as a proxy measure of access to reproductive health services that are essential for meeting many of the Millennium Development Goals, especially those related to child mortality, maternal health, HIV/AIDS, and gender equality.
The fertility rate, expressed as the number of children per woman, is based on age-specific fertility rates in one particular year. Contraceptive prevalence is the percentage of women who are practicing, or whose sexual partners are practicing, any form of contraception.
Failure rates, which vary by method of tubal occlusion, surgical expertise, and patient characteristics, are overall estimated to be between 2 and 4 per 1,000 in the first year of use (Trussell and Kost, 1987).
Key Points. Adolescents are at increased risk of unintended pregnancy compared to older age groups. Education and advice on contraception is part of comprehensive care for sexually active adolescents. Long-acting reversible contraceptives are the contraception of choice for young people.
Results. Among 5445 respondents, percentages of women receiving comprehensive sex education in 2011–2013, 2013–2015, and 2015–2017 were 35%, 40%, and 34%.
