“…Conversely, adding methods expands choice for women and men and increases contraceptive use. With renewed attention to improving access to family planning services that respect and protect human rights, including access to a fuller, more informed choice of methods, experts have considered what it means for programs to offer a full range of contraceptive methods 1 , 2 . In some countries, governments or markets have not enabled access to certain modern methods; in other countries, some methods are inherently unpopular, as with vasectomy and the condom.…”

Applying a standard measure of the method mix evenness suggests 4 patterns among 15 countries moving toward a more balanced mix: (1) rise of one previously underrepresented or new method, (2) replacement of traditional with modern methods, (3) continued but declining domination by a single method, and (4) general movement toward a balanced mix. Improving availability of underutilized or new methods can improve the method mix, although better implementation of more popular methods might increase contraceptive use more expeditiously.

Expanding access to family planning (FP) is a driving aim of global and national FP efforts. The definition and measurement of access, however, remain nebulous, largely due to complexity. This article aims to bring clarity to the measurement of FP access. First, we synthesize key access elements for measurement by reviewing three well-known frameworks. We then assess the extent to which the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS)-a widely used data source for FP programs and research-has information to measure these elements. We finally examine barriers to access by element, using the latest DHS data from four countries in sub-Saharan Africa. We discuss opportunities and limitations in the measurement of access, the importance of careful interpretation of data from population-based surveys, and recommendations for collecting and using data to better measure access.
