Notes: Population includes female respondents who had sex in the past 3 months and were 15–44 years old. Population weighted to reflect the US female civilian population of the United States. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to test for significant differences in the proportion of dual method use with and without condoms by user characteristics to single method use by user characteristics.

a

In the 12 months prior to interview.

b

Significant difference between years at p < 0.05 based on multinomial logistic regression analyses.

c

Significant difference between years at p < 0.01 based on multinomial logistic regression analyses.

d

Significant difference between years at p < 0.001 based on multinomial logistic regression analyses.
