This was roughly comparable to the Central American average (about 71% of women). Furthermore, it was estimated that about 11% of women had unmet family planning needs, which was equal to the Central American average (11% of women). The most common forms of contraception were female sterilization (22% of women), contraceptive injectables (18% of women), and contraceptive pills (12% of women).
