Contraceptive Use Among Girls and Women of Reproductive Age 15-49 Years in 9 High-Burden Districts

Abstract

Most abortions are the result of unintended pregnancy. In Uganda, 52% of pregnancies are unintended, and about a quarter of these unintended pregnancies end in abortion each year. The integrated sexual health program (Heroes4GTA) is a four-year program in 9 high burden districts that conducted a survey in December 2021 to provide insights on family planning knowledge among girls and women of reproductive age 15-49 years.
