The Adding It Up project examines the need for, impact of and cost of fully investing in sexual and reproductive health care (contraceptive services, maternal and newborn care, abortion services and treatment for the major curable STIs) in low- and middle-income countries.
The Institute’s work around abortion worldwide, authored in collaboration with the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), examines incidence by women’s income and by the legal status of abortion, from 1990 to 2019. The project provides global and regional estimates, as well as country-level data.
The Institute compiles comprehensive statistics on the incidence of pregnancy, birth and abortion for people in all reproductive age-groups in the United States at the national level (1973–2020) and state level (1988–2020).
In 2022, scientists at Guttmacher collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to modify existing questions and include additional questions in the BRFSS family planning module. The resulting data set allows analysis not only of people’s primary contraceptive method use but also of multiple method use, overall contraceptive preferences and method-specific contraceptive preferences.
