Percentage of women who choose injections at Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (14863) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of women in contact with Sexual and Reproductive Health Services who choose injections as their main method of contraception. It is based on the number of women in all age groups attending SRH Services where the last recorded main contraceptive method in the year is injectable contraception. It is sourced from PHE based on NHS Digital SRHAD data and ONS mid-year population estimates.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) Clinical Guideline CG30 advises that long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods, such as contraceptive injections, implants, the intra-uterine system (IUS) or the intrauterine device (IUD), are highly effective as they do not rely on daily compliance and are more cost effective than condoms and the pill. This indicator excludes injections because:
- injections rely on timely repeat visits/administration within the year and consequently have a higher failure rate than the other LARC methods
- injections are easily given thus do not require the resources and training that other LARC methods require
- injections are outside local authority contracts
From 2019 onwards, for SRHAD data all sub-national counts are rounded to the nearest 5, and counts of 1-7 are suppressed. Rates are calculated using rounded counts.
