Data from 2011 to 2017 shows that 29 percent of males aged 18 to 44 years who had been in foster care did not use contraceptives the last time they had sex in the past 12 months, compared to 25 percent of men who had not been in foster care. This statistic shows the distribution of contraceptive method use at last sex in past 12 months among U.S. men aged 18-44 who had been in foster care and those who had not, 2011-2017.
Distribution of contraceptive method use at last sex in past 12 months among U.S. men aged 18-44 who had been in foster care and those who had not, 2011-2017*
* Methods categorized by effectiveness: most effective (sterilization, contraceptive implant, and intrauterine device); moderately effective (oral contraceptive pill, injectable [e.g., Depo–Provera], contraceptive patch, contraceptive ring, and diaphragm); and least effective (condom, withdrawal, rhythm method or natural family planning, female condom, foam, jelly, suppository, emergency contraception, and other)
Because men may not have knowledge of female partner’s use of contraception, this may represent an underestimate of actual use among men.
