National Policy Influences of Contraceptive Prevalence and Method Mix Strategy

This study explores the relationship between family planning policies and contraceptive use in low- and middle-income countries, providing crucial insights into how specific policy actions impact modern contraceptive prevalence rates (mCPR) and private-sector contraceptive method mix strategies. By analyzing 12 years of data from the Contraceptive Security Indicators Survey across 59 countries, the research identifies key policy determinants and evaluates their effectiveness in increasing contraceptive access and use. The findings offer valuable guidance for countries aiming to enhance their family planning efforts through targeted policy measures.
