Abstract
Unmarried women who report less recent sexual intercourse (>30 days from survey enumeration)
are largely excluded from global health monitoring and evaluation efforts. This
study investigated level and contextual factors in modern contraceptive utilization and
unmet need within this overlooked female subpopulation in Kenya from 2014 to 2019. This study analyzed data from the Performance Monitoring and Accountability (PMA) survey in
Kenya, a nationally representative survey of female respondents, to understand the level and
contextual factors for family planning utilization and unmet need within female subgroups
including married, unmarried sexually active (defined as sexual intercourse within 30 days of
survey enumeration), and unmarried with less recent sexual intercourse (defined as sexual
intercourse 1–12 months prior to survey enumeration).
