Background: Family planning includes knowledge, services, attitude, policies and practices which enable individuals to decide whether they want to have child and allow them to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Pakistan with population of 195.390 million with estimated population growth rate as 1.89 is the sixth most populous country in the world. Our objectives were to assess the total demand of family planning, contraceptive prevalence rate, unmet need for family planning and factors associated with unmet need of family planning among women of reproductive age group. Methods: We conducted this cross-sectional study on 355 females of reproductive age attending the out-patient department as patient or attendant. Data were collected using structured questionnaire after the participants' verbal consent. Results: The prevalence of unmet need was 34%. The proportion of unmet need for spacing was 63.6% and for limiters it was found to be 36.3%. Contraceptive prevalence rate was 57%. Total demand for family planning was 92.1%.Almost all study participant had knowledge regarding at least one method of contraception. Unmet need of family planning was found to be significantly associated with age and education status of women. High unmet need was there in women with low education status (p=0.047) and older age group (p=0.003). Main reasons for not using contraceptive was family opposition both family and husband (66.9), and fear of side effects (17.3%). Conclusion: More than one third females had unmet need which strongly points towards the strong influence of various socio demographic factors contributing towards the unmet need.

Background: Unmet need is the discrepancy between reproductive intentions and birth control practices. If the unmet needs remained neglected it leads to population explosion which is one of the greatest threats to India’s economic, social and political development.  A community-based study was carried out in rural areas with the objective to find the prevalence of unmet need for family planning and its socio-demographic determinants among married women of reproductive age.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted between January to June 2019. After calculation of sample size 670 participants were selected by simple random sampling method.  Predesign and semi structured Performa was used for data collection. Data was collected and analyse using Epi Info 7.Results: Unmet needs of family planning among the study subject was 31.19% (57.58% for the spacer and 42.42% for limiter). It was significantly higher among the Muslim (66.67%) and Boudh (40.38) religion. It was higher among Illiterate (40.82%), women residing in joint families (72.16%). Unmet need of family planning was significantly associated with age of women, religion, educational status of women and their husbands, occupation, type of family, no of children the women have and age at marriage.Conclusions: Unmet needs among married women in the reproductive age group was still high and was significantly associated with age of women, religion, educational status of women as well as their husband, occupation, type of family, number of children the women had and age at marriage.

Unmet Need For Contraception

Family planning programs in Indonesia is one of the most successful programs in the world . Achievement of the Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) has increased until this year. In 1971 Indonesia’s CPR less than 5 % . The numbers continued to rise sharply until 2007, for modern contraception has reached 61.4 %. However, based on data unmet need for contraception exists each year. The objective of this research is to analyze the relationships between husbands fertility preferences and unmet need family planning in Indonesia. This research used 2007  Indonesia Demografi and Health Survei (IDHS) data. Subject of research were monogamous couples. Chi square statistical test and logistic regression test were used with Confidence Interval (CI) 95% and p<0,05. Based on the results of the analysis data found that from 7464 couples, it was 8,1% found unmet need for contraception (wife). Unmet need for contraception (wife) was significantly related to husbands fertility preferences (OR=1,4; CI95%=1,08-1,90), knowledge gap and occupational gap. In conclution, husband fertility preferences were likely to be greater and have more chances of causing wives unmet need for contraception than wife fertility preferences.

Background: The utilization of family planning services has improved over the decade, but still the SDG’s health target to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health care services is yet to be achieved, unmet need being one of the  imperative component.Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken in the rural field practice area of Department of Community Medicine, Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India, from July 2018 to June 2019. Total sample size calculated was 316. Random sampling was used to select eligible couple to whom a predesigned, pretested, semi-structured and anonymous interview schedule was administered after taking consent.Results: The mean age of the participants was 30.2±6.1 years. The modern contraceptive prevalence rate (mCPR) was found to be 67.7% among women of reproductive age group (15-49 years). Male condom (36%), followed by female sterilisation (30%) were the most common methods preferred. Unmet need of family planning was found to be 10.4%.Conclusions: Besides male condoms and female sterilisation, other methods of contraception were adopted by meagre number of women. Though, the unmet need for family planning was lesser in this study, still, efforts are needed to plunge it, for ameliorating the contraceptive prevalence rate. Also, the availability of basket of contraceptive choices in government sector need sheer assiduity.

The global Family Planning Estimation model (FPEM) combines a Bayesian hierarchical model with country-specific time trends to yield estimates of contraceptive prevalence and unmet need for family planning for countries worldwide. In this paper, we introduce the R package fpemlocal that carries out the estimation of family planning indicators for a single population, for example, for a single country or smaller area. In this implementation of FPEM, all non-population-specific parameters are fixed at outcomes obtained in a prior global FPEM run. The development of this model was motivated by the demand for computational efficiency, without loss of model accuracy, when estimates and projections from FPEM were needed only for a single country. We present use cases to produce estimates for a single population of women by union status or all women based on package-provided data bases and user-specified data. We also explain how to aggregate estimates across multiple populations. The R package forms the basis of the Track20 Family Planning Estimation Tool to monitor trends in family planning indicators for the FP2020 initiative.

Population Stabilization

The study on contraceptive use and unmet need for family planning is the key to understanding the change in fertility and improving reproductive health. Family planning program aims to not only achieve population stabilization but also to promote reproductive health and reduce maternal, infant & child mortality and morbidity. In this study an attempt has been made to assess the family planning practices adopted in the rural Shamirpet. Probability proportion sampling was done and 402 women were selected from 13 villages. Prevalence of contraception was found to be 61.7%. Permanent methods were preferred over temporary methods. Total unmet need for family planning was 11.7%. The contraceptive prevalence rate found in the present study is higher than the district figures and is on par with the state statistics. Unmet needs also are low compared to state figures.
