Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), this study reports differentials in contraceptive use-failure and continuation among married women aged 15-44 years in the United States. Failure rates differed by contraceptive intention. ⋯ Users of modern methods had higher continuation rates than users of traditional methods. These results indicate that a woman's motivation is an important factor in long-term successful use of available contraceptive methods and that more effective and easier to use methods need to be developed.
