Abstract EN
Objective.
To analyze a nationally representative sample of women for correlates of dual-contraceptive-method use.
Materials and Methods.
We conducted an analysis of the National Survey of Family Growth, 2006–2008, a cross-sectional survey of reproductive-aged women in the United States.
Results.
Dual method use was reported by 7.3% of the 5,178 women in the sample.
Correlates of higher rates of dual-contraceptive-method use included age younger than 36 years and nonmarried marital status.
Lower rates of dual method use were observed for women with less than a high-school education and women without consistent health insurance in the past year.
Compared to women using oral contraceptives, use of the contraceptive injection or long-acting reversible contraception was associated with lower dual-method use.
Conclusions.
The overall rate of dual-method use in the USA is low.
Future interventions to promote dual method use should target high-risk groups with modifiable risk factors.
