Story Behind the Curve
This measure shows that among women ages 15 to 44 at risk of unintended pregnancy, the percentage that were provided a most effective or moderately effective method of contraception (MMEC) or a long-acting reversible method of contraception (LARC) within 3 and 60 days. The Adult Core Set asks states to report the rate for the subset of members 21-44 years of age (shown above).
Four rates are reported:
- The percent that were provided a MMEC within 3 days.
- The percent that were provided a MMEC within 60 days.
- The percent that were provided a LARC within 3 days.
- The percent that were provided a LARC within 60 days.
The rate is an intermediate outcome measure, and it is desirable to have a high percentage of women who are provided the most effective or moderately effective contraceptive methods during the postpartum period.
