“…However, sociodemographic data of the study sample are similar to the general Spanish population and consistent with findings reported in surveys of the use of contraceptive methods in Spain. 24 On the other hand, the skin patch group was only one third the size of the other two groups because only that number of women chose that method. This proportion is similar to data in the TEAM study 9 and reflects the preferences of Spanish women regarding the use of this type of contraception.…”

“…As underlined by Marston and Cleland [1], the relation between levels of contraceptive use and the incidence of induced abortion generates heated debate. Some observers argue that abortion rates decrease as contraceptive prevalence increases [2]–[5] while others claim the contrary [1], [6]. Many of the contradictions are likely due to the oversight of the common underlying reason (fertility intentions) for using contraception and undergoing an abortion in case contraceptive strategies fail.…”

ObjectiveThe relation between levels of contraceptive use and the incidence of induced abortion remains a topic of heated debate. Many of the contradictions are likely due to the fact that abortion is the end point of a process that starts with sexual activity, contraceptive use (or non-use), followed by unwanted pregnancy, a decision to terminate, and access to abortion. Trends in abortion rates reflect changes in each step of this process, and opposing trends may cancel each other out. This paper aims to investigate the roles played by the dissemination of contraception and the evolving norms of motherhood on changes in abortion rates.MethodsDrawing data from six national probability surveys that explored contraception and pregnancy wantedness in France from 1978 through 2010, we used multivariate linear regression to explore the associations between trends in contraceptive rates and trends in (i) abortion rates, (ii) unwanted pregnancy rates, (iii) and unwanted birth rates, and to determine which of these 3 associations was strongest.FindingsThe association between contraceptive rates and abortion rates over time was weaker than that between contraception rates and unwanted pregnancy rates (p = 0.003). Similarly, the association between contraceptive rates and unwanted birth rates over time was weaker than that between contraceptive rates and unwanted pregnancy rates (p = 0.000).

“…In Spain, the prevalence of HC use increased in the last decades; in 2007, nearly 20% of Spanish women aged 15 to 49 years used HC to prevent pregnancy. 7 However, lifetime exposures are difficult to assess, as studies usually evaluated young women who may use HC later in their life. Data on HT trends in Spain come mainly from women attending breast cancer screening, who may not be representative of the Spanish population, with prevalence of use ranging from 5% to 12%.…”
