  • Are All Contraceptive Failures Unintended Pregnancies? Evidence from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth

    James Trussell, Barbara Vaughan et al.ARTICLEFamily Planning Perspectives1999

    CONTEXT: The incidence of unintended pregnancy has long been used as a primary indicator of the state of reproductive health. However, the definition--and therefore the measurement--of this indicator has been elusive. METHODS: Data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) were used to compare levels of unintended pregnancy among contraceptive users based on two definitions--the standard definition based on women's reports of contrace…

  • Contraceptive Failure, Method-Related Discontinuation and Resumption of Use

    James Trussell, Barbara VaughanARTICLEFamily Planning Perspectives1999

    CONTEXT: Half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Of these, half occur to women who were practicing contraception in the month they conceived, and others occur when couples stop use because they find their method difficult or inconvenient to use. METHODS: Data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth were used to compute life-table probabilities of contraceptive failure for reversible methods of contraception, discontinu…

  • Using Fertility Surveys to Evaluate an Indirect Method for Detecting Fertility Control

    Barbara S Okun, James Trussell et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1996Cited by: 1

    This paper is the latest report from a research project whose overall goal is to evaluate the performance of two indirect methods – Coale and Trussell's model (M&m) and Cohort Parity Analysis (CPA) – used in the study of fertility control in populations for which direct information on the use of birth control is lacking. In this paper we evaluate CPA, using data from 32 countries that participated in the World Fertility Survey. We show that in ac…

  • Birth spacing and child mortality in bangladesh and the Philippines

    Open AccessJane Miller, Jane E Miller et al.ARTICLEDemography1992Cited by: 32References: 22

    This analysis uses data from Bangladesh and the Philippines to demonstrate that children who are born within 15 months of a preceding birth are 60 to 80% more likely than other children to die in the first two years of life, once the confounding effects of prematurity are removed. The risks associated with short conception intervals are confined to children who are also high birth order; they persist in the presence of controls for prior familial…

  • Contraceptive Failure and Continuation among Married Women in the United States, 1970-75

    William R Grady, Marilyn B Hirsch et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1983Cited by: 3

    Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), this study reports differentials in contraceptive use-failure and continuation among married women aged 15-44 years in the United States. Failure rates differed by contraceptive intention. Within categories of intention, these rates differed by method, age, race, and parity. Users of modern methods had higher continuation rates than users of traditional methods. These results indicate t…
