�Using across the nation representative survey data, researchers examined the patterns and trends in the consumption of intimate and reproductive health precaution services in U.S. women aged 15 to 44 between 1995 and 2002. The results conclude that the receipt of preventive services (a birth control method or a prescription) among American women rosiness significantly during the clock time of this study (1995-2002) from 36 percent to 41 percentage; however the overall receipt of intimate and generative health precaution services remained constant, with 74 pct of U.S. women reporting receipt of such services.
"Possible explanations for this trend admit both increased demand for contraceptive services (e.g., because of changing prophylactic device use patterns) and improved financial accessibility of preventative care within the private sector (e.g., because of punter insurance coverage of preventative services)," the study's source inferred.
