Total number of women choosing user-dependent contraception methods (15449) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of women in contact with Sexual and Reproductive Health Services who choose user-dependent methods (rely on daily compliance) 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 a user-dependent method of contraception. This is any method, including 'natural family planning', that relies on daily compliance and thus excludes LARCs. It is sourced from PHE based on NHS Digital SRHAD data.
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.
