Contraceptive prevalence among women aged 15 to 49 who have a partner, in per cent.

Notes: Respondents could indicate more than one method; therefore the sum does not equal 100%. Since we excluded pregnant women from our study, the results in this table do not coincide with those published in the official national MICS reports.
Numbers in the parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
After standardization by age (the standard is the average population structure of the three samples), contraceptive prevalence constitutes 74.3 per sent in Belarus, 77.1 per sent in Russia, and 69.0 per sent in Ukraine.
Source: If not stated otherwise, the estimates presented in this and other tables in this section are based on the data from the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (2005) for Belarus and Ukraine and on the data from the Generations and Gender Survey (2007) for Russia.
