What Are the Epidemiological Implications of Contraceptive Use?
Widespread use of effective contraceptive methods can have several epidemiological benefits, including:
Reduction in unintended pregnancies, which can lower maternal and infant mortality rates. Decreased transmission rates of STIs, especially with barrier methods like condoms. Improved health outcomes by allowing women to space out pregnancies. Economic benefits due to reduced healthcare costs associated with unintended pregnancies and STIs.
