Background: Scaling up access to safe, effective, and voluntary family planning (FP) services to achieve universal access for women and families will require increased commitment by countries and international organizations. On the way toward universal access, quantitative family planning goals have also been established by the United Nations through the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Here, we present a model-based framework that can help monitor progress toward these goals at the sub-national and demographic subgroup scale. Methods: We utilize 90 demographic health surveys for 26 countries that contain associated geographic position system data. We extract survey cluster level data to fit multiple small area estimation models that estimate FP indicators by administrative unit one and two regions as well as different demographic subgroups. Findings: We find significant variation of modern contraceptive prevalence rates (mCPR), unmet need, and demand satisfied by country, sub-national region, and demographic subgroup. Our model-based estimates show that on average for 436 administrative unit one regions, mCPR has increased at a rate of 0.75% per year and unmet need has decreased by 0.26% per year. There are also striking differences of FP indicators by demographic subgroup; for example, unmet need can be up to 40% different based on age and parity. Interpretation: We have developed a framework to help monitor progress, provide insights about the inequitable progress by region and demographic groups, and account for the sparsity of available data. These results and framework can help policy-makers better allocate and target interventions to help achieve family planning goals.

估计撒哈拉以南非洲26个国家/地区的436个地方以下地区的计划生育指标的水平和趋势

背景:扩大获得安全,有效和自愿的计划生育服务的机会,以实现妇女和家庭的普遍获得,将需要各国和国际组织作出更大的承诺。在通向普遍获取的道路上,联合国还通过可持续发展目标(SDGs)确立了定量计划生育目标。在这里,我们提出了一个基于模型的框架,该框架可以帮助在国家以下和人口子小组规模上监控实现这些目标的进度。方法:我们利用26个国家/地区的90项人口健康调查,其中包含相关的地理位置系统数据。我们提取调查群集级别的数据,以适合多个小区域估计模型,这些模型可以按管理单元一和两个区域以及不同的人口统计子组来估计FP指标。调查结果:我们发现现代避孕普及率(mCPR),未满足的需求以及按国家,次国家(地区)和人口分组所满足的需求存在显着差异。我们基于模型的估计表明,平均而言,在436个行政单位一地区中,移动平均费用每年以0.75%的速度增长,而未满足需求则以每年0.26%的速度下降。FP指标在不同人口子组之间也存在显着差异。例如,根据年龄和平价,未满足的需求可能相差40%。解释:我们开发了一个框架来帮助监控进度,提供有关按地区和人口统计的不平等进度的见解,并说明可用数据的稀疏性。这些结果和框架可以帮助决策者更好地分配和确定目标干预措施,以帮助实现计划生育目标。我们发现现代避孕普及率(mCPR),未满足的需求以及按国家,次国家(地区)和人口分组所满足的需求存在显着差异。我们基于模型的估计表明,平均而言,在436个行政单位一地区中,移动平均费用每年以0.75%的速度增长,而未满足需求则以每年0.26%的速度下降。FP指标在不同人口子组之间也存在显着差异。例如,未满足的需求可能会因年龄和性别而异高达40%。解释:我们开发了一个框架来帮助监控进度,提供有关按地区和人口统计的不平等进度的见解,并说明可用数据的稀疏性。这些结果和框架可以帮助决策者更好地分配和确定目标干预措施,以帮助实现计划生育目标。我们发现现代避孕普及率(mCPR),未满足的需求以及按国家,次国家(地区)和人口分组所满足的需求存在显着差异。我们基于模型的估计显示,平均而言,在436个行政单位一地区中,移动平均费用每年以0.75%的速度增长,而未满足需求则以每年0.26%的速度下降。FP指标在不同人口子组之间也存在显着差异。例如,根据年龄和平价,未满足的需求可能相差40%。解释:我们开发了一个框架来帮助监控进度,提供有关按地区和人口统计的不平等进度的见解,并说明可用数据的稀疏性。这些结果和框架可以帮助决策者更好地分配和确定目标干预措施,以帮助实现计划生育目标。
