Abstract
Unmet need for family planning results in higher rates of unintended pregnancies, shorter birth spacing intervals, higher abortion rates, and a greater number of pregnancies. Unmet need may be caused by lack of services, fewer contraceptive options offered, high out-of-pocket costs of methods, low understanding of options and proper use and low use of effective long-acting methods. By examining trend data in the southeast compared to national data, program decision-makers can monitor unmet need and take steps to improve service delivery that will reduce unintended pregnancies and lead ultimately to better health outcomes for women and the children they eventually may bear.
