More than a third of women with an unmet need for modern contraception have used a modern method in the past but have chosen to discontinue use. Discontinuation for reasons other than wanting to become pregnant can contribute to unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion. Why do women stop using contraceptives?
This webinar highlights new insights from Contraceptive Discontinuation: Reasons, Challenges, and Solutions, a new report by Family Planning 2020 and Population Council that provides an in-depth look at reasons for discontinuation, interventions to reduce discontinuation and/or enhance switching to new methods, and measurement and monitoring of discontinuation.
