This is the lowest rate of any Caribbean country. An overwhelming majority of women that do use birth control opt for the contraceptive injection.<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015]</ref> There have been multiple campaigns with mixed results to raise awareness for the use of contraceptives.

C’est le taux le plus faible enregistré dans les Caraïbes. Parmi les femmes qui utilisent une contraception, une immense majorité opte pour les progestatifs injectables<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015 (Tendances de l'utilisation des contraceptifs 2015)]</ref>. Plusieurs campagnes de sensibilisation à l’utilisation des contraceptifs ont été menées, avec des résultats mitigés. Beaucoup de femmes sont élevées dans des familles chrétiennes conservatrices et n’osent pas admettre qu’elles ont eu des relations sexuelles avant le mariage. Le sujet de la contraception est donc rarement abordé, en particulier chez les jeunes<ref>[http://pulitzercenter.org/reporting/family-planning-delicate-subject-haiti Family Planning is a Delicate Subject in Haiti (La planification familiale, un sujet tabou en Haïti)]</ref>.
