Percentage of women who 1) received or had documented use of most or moderately effective contraception and 2) received a long-acting reversible contraceptive method during the calendar year.

Primary measure: Eligible women who received or were documented to be using a most (i.e., sterilization, implants, intrauterine devices or systems (IUD/IUS) or moderately effective (i.e., injectables, oral pills, patch, or ring) contraceptive method.
Sub-measure: Eligible women provided a long-acting reversible contraceptive method (IUD or implant).
