Notes: Contraceptive prevalence reflects all methods (traditional methods as well as modern methods of contraception). Contraceptive prevalence rates are obtained mainly from household surveys, including Demographic and Health Surveys, Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, and contraceptive prevalence surveys. Unmarried women are often excluded from such surveys, which may bias the estimates.

Definitions: Contraceptive Prevalence Rate: The percentage of women of reproductive age who are using (or whose partner is using) a contraceptive method at a given point in time. It is usually measured for married women or women living with a partner aged 15-49.
