U.S. Women Significantly Increase Use Of Contraceptive Services

Using nationally representative survey data, researchers examined the patterns and trends in the use of sexual and reproductive health care services in U.S. women aged 15 to 44 between 1995 and 2002. The results conclude that the receipt of contraceptive services (a birth control method or a prescription) among American women rose significantly during the time of this study (1995-2002) from 36 percent to 41 percent; however the overall receipt of sexual and reproductive health care services remained constant, with 74 percent of U.S. women reporting receipt of such services.


"Possible explanations for this trend include both increased demand for contraceptive services (e.g., because of changing contraceptive use patterns) and improved financial accessibility of contraceptive care within the private sector (e.g., because of better insurance coverage of contraceptive services)," the study's author inferred.
