Abstract

The usage of contraceptives and family planning is a serious due to the growing population. Here authors have done a comparative study on contraceptive discontinuation in Empowered Action Group (EAG) states and non-Empowered Action Group (Non-EAG) states. This article describes the trend in contraceptive discontinuation in EAG and non-EAG states, and the multiple decrement concept is used to determine the probability of contraceptive discontinuation. Data used in this research were taken from the country’s all-round of National Family and Health Survey. The contraceptive discontinuation trend reveals that for EAG states, discontinuation is 35.15% and for non-EAG states, discontinuation is 28.09%. It was realized that in EAG states, the discontinuation was majorly due to fertility-related and service-related causes, and in non-EAG states, it was primarily due to method-related causes. The age groups where the highest discontinuation occurred were 25–29 in EAG and non-EAG states.
