Permanent (7%, n = 23) 34.0 8.2 6.0 0 0 51.8
LARC (12%, n = 41) 1.2 75.6 10.5 0 10.5 2.2
Hormonal, non-LARC (37%, n = 131) 6.2 18.2 65.3 5.7 2.7 2.0

Results are from the subsample of 351 women who provided all preferred contraceptive method and sociodemographic data. Results are presented as weighted percentages. p-value from Chi-square comparing method preferred by method used.

*

Missing p-value is due to insufficient cell sizes across permanent and withdrawal/other methods. When the categories “Withdrawal/other” and “Permanent” were collapsed into one category, the reported p-value was <0.0001.

Underlined values indicate match between method preferred and method used.
