Estimating Unintended Pregnancies Averted from Couple-Years of Protection (CYP)
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND One commonly used approach for reporting family planning service levels is to calculate the couple-years of protection (CYP) provided by a program. CYP refers to “the estimated protection provided by contraceptive methods during a one-year period based upon the volume of all contraceptives sold or distributed free of charge to clients during that period.... The term ‘CYP’ reflects distribution and is a way to estimate coverage and not actual use or impact. The CYP calculation provides an immediate indication of the volume of program activity. CYP can also allow programs to compare the contraceptive coverage provided by different family planning methods.” USAID, DFID and many family planning organizations use CYP to measure program performance.
