AB  - According  to  the  2015–2017  National  Survey  of  Family  Growth  (NSFG),  changes  in  contraceptive  method  use  among  married,  non-Hispanic  white  women  have  contributed  to  a  significant  decline  in  the  proportion  of  unintended  births  among  this  group.  Sixty-five  percent  of  women  of  reproductive  age  are  currently  using  contraception.  Contraceptive  use  has  been  shown  to  increase  with  age;  37%  of  women  age  15–19  compared  to  74%  of  women  age  40–49  are  using  contraceptive  methods.  Of  women  age  15–49,  the  most  common  methods  of  contraception  are  female  sterilizations  (18.6%),  oral  contraceptive  pills  (12.6%),  and  long-acting  reversible  contraceptives  (10.3%).  Use  of  long-acting  reversible  contraceptives  has  increased,  whereas  fewer  women  report  that  their  partners  are  using  condoms  as  their  current  most  effective  means  of  contraception.  Addressing  family  planning  and  contraception  is  an  important  issue  for  providers  of  care  to  reproductive-age  women.  Because  of  the  wide  range  of  contraceptive  options  available,  it  is  important  that  healthcare  providers  remain  current  with  the  recent  advances  concerning  counseling,  efficacy,  safety,  and  side  effects.
