Unintended pregnancy in the United States.
TL;DR: Rates of unintended pregnancy have declined, probably as a result of higher contraceptive prevalence and use of more effective methods, and efforts to achieve further decreases should focus on reducing risky behavior, promoting the use of effective contraceptive methods and improving the effectiveness with which all methods are used.
