NHSR No. 60. Current Contraceptive Use in the United States, 2006–2010, and Changes in Patterns of Use Since 1995

Use of contraception and the effectiveness of the method used to prevent pregnancy are major factors affecting national pregnancy and birth rates and the ability of women to plan their pregnancies. This report presents national estimates of contraceptive use among women of childbearing age (15–44 years) in 2006–2010. Selected comparisons are made with 1995 data to describe changes in contraceptive use and in method choice over time.
