Cover page and definitions
In these tables, women in need of publicly funded contraceptive services and supplies are defined as women who are at risk of an unintended pregnancy (aged 13-44, sexually active, fecund, and not currently pregnant or trying to become pregnant), low-income (<250% of the federal poverty level), or teenagers (aged <20) of any income level. For further information on the methodology of estimating numbers of women in need of publicly funded contraceptive services and supplies, see The Alan Guttmacher Institute, 1997, Contraceptive Needs and Services, 1995. For further information on the methodology of the tabulations of numbers of publicly funded family planning clinics and contraceptive clients served, see Frost J. et al., 2001, Family planning clinic services in the United States: patterns and trends in the late 1990s, Family Planning Perspectives, 33(3):113-122. Numbers of contraceptive clients served are based on data provided for 86% of all clinics. Client numbers for nonresponding clinics have been estimated based on the numbers of contraceptive clients served by clinics of similar type, funding status and location. The difference between the number of women in need of publicly funded contraceptive services and supplies and the number of contraceptive clients served by publicly funded providers does not necessarily represent "unmet need." Some women in need of publicly funded services may obtain care from private providers (e.g., care funded by Medicaid) and are not included here.
