What are the Epidemiological Measures Related to Contraception?
Several epidemiological measures are used to assess the use and impact of contraception. These include the contraceptive prevalence rate, which measures the percentage of women of reproductive age who are using, or whose partners are using, any form of contraception. Another important measure is the unmet need for family planning, which indicates the percentage of women who want to stop or delay childbearing but are not using any method of contraception. These measures help in identifying gaps in contraceptive use and inform public health interventions.
