Analysis of the 2018 Afghanistan Household Survey: Understanding Regional Variations in Family Planning Use
Abstract: Understanding unmet need for family planning (FP) has been central to international FP efforts for decades. Addressing this need is essential to FP program strategies in developing countries, including in Afghanistan. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting unmet need for modern contraceptive use across all regions of Afghanistan. To do this, the authors conducted a secondary analysis of data from the 2018 Afghanistan Household Survey, which was implemented in 34 provinces. The research provided an estimate of the level of unmet need provincially and regionally. This report shares more on the study, including findings and recommendations.
