Abstract
Introduction: Using 2022-2023 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) data on contraceptive use or nonuse in the month of the survey, this report provides a snapshot of current contraceptive status among females ages 15-49 in the United States.
Methods: Data from the 5,586 females surveyed in the 2022-2023 NSFG were used in this report. Statistics for this report were produced using SAS-callable SUDAAN software version 11.0.3 to account for the complex sample design of NSFG. Differences between percentages were evaluated using two-tailed t tests at the 5% level. Linear and quadratic trends were evaluated using orthogonal polynomials.
Key findings: In 2022-2023, 54.3% of females ages 15-49 in the United States were currently using contraception. The most common contraceptive methods currently being used were female sterilization (11.5%); oral contraceptive pills (11.4%); long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), which include contraceptive implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs) (10.5%); and the male condom (7.1%).
