Project Description

Summary: The Guttmacher Institute has a long history of studying U.S. publicly funded family planning clinics and conducting sample surveys to better understand and document the clinic network’s range of service delivery practices and the challenges it faces. These data are from a survey of a nationally representative sample of publicly funded family planning clinics conducted in 2010–2011 and are both an extension of earlier surveys and an investigation of new topic areas relevant to the provision of clinic services today. A total of 664 publicly funded family planning clinics in the U.S. provided information about the types of contraceptive methods and related services offered onsite and through referral; service delivery practices and protocols, particularly those that have the potential to affect service accessibility, method initiation and continuation, and care for patients with special needs; the types of outreach and special programs offered; protocols and technology used for screening and testing (including for cervical cancer and HIV); services for male partners and clients; service costs and financial challenges; and a variety of other aspects related to clinical practices and management.

Funding Sources: United States Department of Health and Human Services. Office of Population Affairs (FPRPA006050)

Scope of Project

Subject Terms: birth control; costs; family planning; health care access; health planning; health services utilization; mdeicaid; outreach programs

Geographic Coverage: United States

Time Period(s): 1/2010 – 12/2011

Collection Date(s): 9/2010 – 5/2011

Universe: Clinics in the United States providing publicly funded contraceptive services

Data Type(s): survey data

Methodology

Response Rate: 1,294 clinics were surveyed. 664 clinics responded to this survey, 20 clinics refused and 610 never responded. The overall response rate was 51%. Response by provider type was: 75% among Planned Parenthoods, 60% among health departments, 39% among FQHCs and 42% among others.

Sampling: The sample was drawn from the 8,114 eligible publicly funded family planning clinics known to us at that time. Sampled clinics were stratified by type (health department, Planned Parenthood, FQHC and other) and whether they received any Title X funding. Clinics were randomly selected within each of the eight resulting categories. Because there are many more clinics of some types than of others, we varied the proportion of each type that was sampled to ensure a sufficient number of cases to make estimates specific to each type. We sampled 28% of Planned Parenthood clinics, 19% of FQHCs, 13% of health departments, and 16% of hospitals and other facilities.

Collection Mode(s): mail questionnaire

Scales: N/A

Weights: All analysis should be weighted. The main weight variable is weight. To obtain accurate standard errors, analysis should also account for sample stratification by using the stratum variable.
