Under 25s females attending specialist contraceptive services rate per 1,000 population (14866) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the crude rate of unique attendees at specialist contraceptive services by women aged 15-24 years per 1,000 resident population aged 15-24 years. It is based on the number of unique individuals with at least one face to face attendance in the year at specialist contraceptive services by females aged 15-24 years. It is sourced from PHE based on NHS Digital SRHAD data and ONS mid-year population estimates.
The Department of Health's Framework for Sexual Health Improvement in England (2013) includes the ambition to improve sexual health outcomes for young adults. This includes the aim for all young people to have rapid and easy access to high quality SRH services. This attendance indicator provide sexual health leads, commissioners and service providers with a measure of young people's access to specialist contraceptive services. The indicators are split by sex and unique attendances because there are different patterns of service access and recording relating to each sex. Females access services more than males, and make more repeated visits in a year. The unique individuals view helps identify the degree of success regarding targeting this age group for each sex. The indicators also support a number of key public health programmes including chlamydia screening and reducing teenage pregnancy. The National Chlamydia Screening Programme (NCSP) is targeted at sexually active young people aged under 25.
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.
