SDG 2: Target 3.7: Indicators 3.7.1 Definitions, Metadata, Trends, Differentials, and Challenges

Capacity Development Workshop on SDG Indicators

Geneva, November 2-4, 2016

Target 3.7: By 2030, ensure universal access to SRH care services, including for family planning, information and education, and integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes.

Indicator 3.7.1: Proportion of women of reproductive age (15-49 Years) who have their need for family planning satisfied with modern methods

Indicator 3.7.2: Adolescent Birth Rate (10-14 and 15-19) per 1,000 women in each age group (10-14 and 15-19).

SDG3: Target 3.7: Indicator 3.7.1

𝒎𝑷𝑫𝑺 =𝒎𝑪𝑷𝑹

𝑪𝑷𝑹+𝑼𝑵𝑹 expressed as percentage, where:

mPDS is the proportion of demand satisfied by modern methods

CPR is the contraceptive prevalence rate (modern and traditional)

mCPR is the contraceptive prevalence rate due to modern methods

UNR is the unmet need for contraception rate

• CPR is the percentage of women who are currently using, or whose sexual partner is currently using, at least one method of contraception, regardless of the method used.

• UNR is defined as the percentage of women of reproductive age, either married or in a union, who want to stop or delay childbearing but are not using any method of contraception.

SDG3: Target 3.7: Indicator 3.7.1

Modern vs Traditional Methods:

• For analytical purposes, contraceptive methods are often classified as either modern or traditional.

• Modern methods of contraception include female and male sterilization, the intra-uterine device (IUD), the implant, injectables, oral contraceptive pills, male and female condoms, vaginal barrier methods (including the diaphragm, cervical cap and spermicidal foam, jelly, cream and sponge), lactational amenorrhea method (LAM), emergency contraception and other modern methods not reported separately (e.g., the contraceptive patch or vaginal ring).

• Traditional methods of contraception include rhythm (e.g., fertility awareness-based methods, periodic abstinence), withdrawal and other traditional methods not reported separately.

SDG3: Target 3.7: Indicator 3.7.1

Rationale and Interpretation:

• mPDS and the coverage of family planning programmes and services.

• mPDS, prevention of pregnancy and couples decision rights on the number and spacing of their children.

• mPDS contribution to maternal and child health

• Levels of mPDS: – 𝑚𝑃𝐷𝑆 ≥ 75 are generally considered as high,

– 𝑚𝑃𝐷𝑆 ≤ 50 are generally considered as very low.

Disaggregation:

• Age, geographic location, marital status, socioeconomic status and other categories, depending on the data source and number of observations.

SDG3: Target 3.7: Indicator 3.7.1

Sources of data and data Collection

• This indicator is calculated from nationally-representative household survey data: DHS, MICS, RHS, FFS, CPS, PMA and WFS.

• Sources can be found:

United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2016). World Contraceptive Use 2016 (POP/DB/CP/Rev2016).

SDG3: Target 3.7: Indicator 3.7.1

Source of differences between global and national figures

• Generally, there is no discrepancy between data presented and data published in survey reports. However, some published national data have been adjusted by the Population Division to improve comparability.

Estimates and projections

• A Bayesian hierarchical model is used to generate global, regional and country estimates and projections of mPDS.

• Aggregate estimates and projections are weighted averages of the model-based country estimates, using the number of married or in-union women aged 15-49 for the reference year in each country.

• Regional averages are provided only if data are available on contraceptive prevalence for at least 50 per cent of the women of reproductive age who are married or in union in the region.
