Deriving national and disaggregated estimates for the demand for family planning satisfied indicator from contraceptive prevalence using household health surveys

The predicted estimates proved to be a good approximation for DFPS in circumstances where direct estimation is not possible. This study confirms that modeling DFPS through contraceptive prevalence remains valid and extends its applicability to DFPS based on modern methods. Furthermore, the estimates were robust for varying inequality dimensions, allowing equity analyses to be performed when appropriate.
