Use of contraception prevents pregnancy-related health risks for women, especially for adolescent girls, and when births are separated by less than two years, the infant mortality rate is 45% higher than it is when births are 2-3 years and 60% higher than it is when births are four or more years apart [1].
Therefore, contraception is a common reason women 15 to 50 years of age seek health care. 3 This review summarizes current evidence regarding efficacy, adverse effects, and optimal selection of reversible contraceptives.
We estimated overall contraceptive failure rates across 43 included countries in two ways: (1) by calculating a median failure rate by method and (2) by calculating a pooled all-country estimate across all 43 countries.
among women of reproductive age (15–49 years) in 2019. 1. Use of contraception is associated with reductions in maternal mortality and neonatal mortality due to the avoidance of unintended and adolescent pregnancies, and contributes to spacing, timing, and limiting births. 2. Access to contraception also empowers women and supports the
We present estimates of the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR), modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR), demand satisfied, and the method of contraception used for both partnered and unpartnered women for 5-year age groups in 204 countries and territories between 1970 and 2019.
We estimate age‐specific global contraceptive failure rates and find strong, consistent age patterns with the youngest users experiencing failure rates up to ten times higher than older women for certain methods.
