State and County Estimates of Contraceptive Needs and Services, 1995.
This report presents updated estimates by state and county of the numbers of women needing contraceptive services and supplies, according to their age and income level. The report also presents state and county data on the availability of private physicians and publicly supported family planning clinics, and compares the level of clinic services with the number of women needing contraceptive care and supplies from publicly supported providers. These data provide geographically comparable information that can be used to monitor and plan access to care.
Introduction
The tabulations of women needing contraceptive services and supplies are new estimates based on data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) and 1995 population estimates updated from the 1990 Census. Information on the availability of family planning clinics and the number of women served at family planning clinics, collected by The Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI), has been published previously only at the state level; (1) county-level data are added here. Data on the availability of private physicians in 1994 has been compiled from the 1996 Area Resource File.
The data presented in Table 1 (by region and stare) and Table 2 (by county) are summarized in this article (with complete methodological detail appearing in the Methodological Appendix). Key national and regional findings are then described with highlighted data items appearing in Tables A-D.
