• There is no benchmark available for this OPA measure.
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 Child Core Set asks states to report the rate for the subset of members 15-20 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.
