Family Planning
All PMA data can be disaggregated by various socio-demographic characteristics of survey respondents, including rural-urban residence, wealth quintile, marital status, age, parity (number of live children), and education. PMA data are consistent with Demographic and Health Survey measurements of family planning demand and utilization. PMA data also introduce new indicators of choice, quality, and access at health facility and household levels.
The list below includes some of key family planning indicators that PMA measures. For a glossary of indicators, click below:
