Sources Center for International Health Information (CIHI). Country estimates compiled from the U.S. Bureau of the Census, International Data Base, 1998, except for the 1991 figure for Honduras, which was provided by the Uni ted Nations. Original estimates were provided by Contraceptive Prevalence, Demographic and Health, Family Health and Reproductive Health surveys. Definition Contraceptive prevalence rate is the percentage of currently married women (ages 15-44 or 15-49, as indicated) who were using modern methods of contraception at the time of the survey. As used here, the term & quot;married" includes women in unions other than formal marriages. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
