State samples include respondents who reported using contraception in the 3 months before the survey and who indicated at least one preference for a source of contraception; samples are weighted to reflect women aged 18–44 years within each state. Some characteristics do not sum to 100% due to nonresponse.

^a Respondents who were out of work for less than a year or more were considered to be unemployed and those who were retired or a full-time student or homemaker were considered to be out of the labor market.

^b Private insurance includes employer-based plans and plans purchased on the marketplace or exchange. Public insurance options include Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, Indian Health Service, and State Family Planning Program.

^c No contact with provider methods include withdrawal, internal and external condoms, other barrier methods, fertility awareness-based methods, emergency contraceptives and spermicides, and vasectomy. Minimal/initiation contact with provider methods include the implant, IUD, and tubal ligation. Regular contact with provider methods include the pill, patch, ring, and Depo-Provera^®.

^d Respondents were considered to have received person-centered care if they reported having received a contraceptive-related care visit in the prior 12 months, and they rated this care as excellent on each of the following four domains: respecting the respondent as a person, letting the respondent say what mattered to them about birth control, taking the respondent's preferences about their birth control seriously, and giving the respondent enough information to make the best decision about their birth control; respondents who had not received contraceptive care in the past 12 months were categorized as having received no care.

^e Respondents were considered to have mistrust in the contraceptive health care system if they reported either disagree or strongly disagree on “the government makes certain that birth control methods are safe before they come onto the market,” or agree or strongly agree on either “the government and public health institutions use poor people and people of color as guinea pigs to try out new birth control methods,” “the government is trying to limit populations of color by encouraging their use of birth control,” or “drug companies don't care if birth control is safe, they just want people to use it so they can make money.”

IUD, intrauterine device.
