Objective:
Describe where female contraceptive users obtained their method, by insurance and state.
Study Design:
Using 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from female contraceptive users in 26 states, we describe source of contraception by state and type of insurance coverage.
Results:
Most female contraceptive users utilized private providers, but those with public or no insurance often used community health centers and family planning clinics, which commonly receive public funding.
Conclusion:
People who are publicly insured or uninsured often rely on publicly supported providers.
Implications:
Supporting a variety of providers may facilitate people accessing care, regardless of income.
