mass-mail campaign. CDC will carefully
consider all comments submitted in
preparation of the final document.
In 2017–2019 in the United States,
65% of women aged 15–49 years used
contraception; the most common
contraceptive methods used were
female sterilization, oral contraceptive
pills, implants and intrauterine devices,
and male condoms [1]. The majority
(61%) of U.S. women aged 18–49 years
have ongoing or potential need for
contraceptive services [2]. Similarly, in
2010–2016, about 60% of men aged 15–
44 years in the United States needed
family planning [3]. Equitable access to
evidence-based, high quality care is
critical to meeting the needs of persons
seeking contraceptive services,
improving reproductive autonomy, and
reducing unintended pregnancy in the
United States [2].
Since 2010, CDC has published
evidence-based recommendations on
contraception provision. These
recommendations are intended to assist
health care providers when they counsel
patients about choice and use of
contraceptive methods, with the goal of
reducing medical barriers to
contraception access. U.S. Medical
Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use,
2016 (US MEC) comprises
recommendations for the use of specific
contraceptive methods by persons with
certain characteristics or medical
conditions, such as diabetes,
hypertension, and being postpartum or
breastfeeding [4]. U.S. Selected Practice
Recommendations for Contraceptive
Use, 2016 (US SPR) addresses common,
yet sometimes complex, issues
regarding initiation and use of specific
contraceptive methods, such as
examinations or tests needed before
starting a method and management of
side effects [5]. Both guidance
documents are adapted from global
guidance developed by the World
Health Organization (WHO) and are
based on review of the scientific
evidence and consultation with national
experts. CDC partners with other federal
agencies and professional organizations
in the development, dissemination, and
implementation of the guidance
documents to improve access to
contraception and quality of family
planning services.
CDC is committed to ensuring that the
US MEC and US SPR recommendations
are reviewed and updated as new
scientific evidence becomes available.
Working with WHO, CDC continuously
monitors peer-reviewed literature and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

updates recommendations as needed,
with comprehensive reviews
approximately every 5 years. CDC is
currently planning for the next update
of the US MEC and US SPR and will
consider public comments when
determining the scope of the guidance
update. CDC is seeking feedback from
health care providers, professional
organizations, community-based
organizations, organizations that seek to
improve reproductive health, patient
advocacy groups, and the public.

the Supplementary Materials tab of the
docket and at https://www.cdc.gov/

US SPR may be found at the

plan for and implement high-quality,
culturally-relevant, evidence-based
home visiting programs in at-risk tribal
communities; establish, measure, and
