  • All percentages represent column percentages with the exception of ‘total’ rows, where percentages are row percentages. Table presents original analyses conducted and created by the authors.

  • *While we label this measure PFM, it is modified from the definition of PFM proposed by Holt et al,14 primarily in that we assess concordance between desired and actual use of any contraceptive method (without reference to a specific method), rather than desired use of the method actually being used.

  • PFM, preference-aligned fertility management.
