Estimating Contraceptive Prevalence Using Logistics Data for Short-Acting Methods: Analysis Across 30 Countries

Abstract

Three models showed strong correlation between public-sector logistics data for injectables, oral contraceptives, and condoms and their prevalence rates, demonstrating that current logistics data can provide useful prevalence estimates when timely survey data are unavailable.

Are Procured Quantities of Implants Adequate and Appropriate? Modeling Procurement, Inventory, and Consumption of Contraceptive Implants During Rapid Uptake

“…Recent studies evaluating the validity of using the conversion factors to determine products required have highlighted challenges, particularly for condoms and long-acting contraceptives. This challenge likely reflects inadequate data on quantities typically used (as in the case of condoms) and duration of actual use (as in the case of long-acting reversible contraceptives) 17 , 18 . Our results indicate that estimates using demographic data with the Reality Check methodology and CYPs set consumption for implants too low.…”

“…The findings for question 3, indicate that demographic estimates, using the Reality Check methodology, underestimate dispensed-to-client consumption of implants. Although this study did not evaluate the reasons for the discrepancy, studies evaluating the validity of using CYP conversion factors have highlighted challenges, particularly for condoms and long-acting contraceptives 17 , 18 . This underestimate of implant demands using demographic estimates has implications for the use of this demographic methodology (including CYPs) for forecasting consumption for contraceptive implants.…”

Predictors of good contraception attitude and practice among female students of television studies in Nigeria: a secondary analysis

“…Procuring contraceptives by this population from sites outside the public sector may affect accurate reporting of contraceptive use as these sites are not routinely captured in national data. 30 Most of the study participants have had unplanned pregnancies due to the non-use of contraception. This is, however, contrary to a similar population in Suva-Fiji whose majority had never had unplanned pregnancy.…”

Contraceptive Prevalence Rate, Unmet Need for Family Planning and Its Associated Factors Among Women of Reproductive Age Group

“…In our study mostly participants were using modern methods (69.8%) According to contraceptive performance report 2015-16, CPR in Pakistan based on modern method was 35.5% (5). CPR is vital indicator used by Government and all stake holders to assess the progress towards Millennium Development goals, Sustainable development goals and Family planning vision 2020 hence varies considerably in different countries according to success of health policies (14). In our study data was collected from female patients attending Basic Health Care Unit where family planning services are available that might be the reason for comparatively better figures.…”
