Abstract To analyze the trends on contraceptive use of married women of child-bearing age, and to explore the factors associated with implementation of long-acting contraceptive methods, in order to provide decision making basis for avoiding unwanted pregnancy and reducing induced abortion. Methods: Married women of childbearing age aged 15-49 years old who had taken contraceptive methods in the sampling survey database of National Health and Family Planning Commission in 2017 were analyzed. Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The proportion of long-acting irreversible contraceptive, long-acting reversible contraceptive, condom, other short acting contraceptive, and traditional contraceptive methods were 23.5%, 40.6%, 29.6%, 2.3%, and 4.0%, respectively. Since 2014, the proportion of condom use had been increasing year by year. The women of childbearing age were more likely to use long-acting contraception if they were older, were lower education level, had more children, were from ethnic minorities, had household registration, had an agricultural hukou, lived in rural areas, and worked in agriculture. Conclusion: The proportion of the married women of childbearing age using condoms shows a rapidly increasing trend. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of contraceptive counseling, publicity, and network team, and advocate high effective contraceptive methods for targeted populations, so as to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
