Este análisis muestra que los esfuerzos por expandir el acceso y el uso de planificación familiar en Honduras han sido exitosos, pero que aún existen discrepancias en las tasas de fecundidad global y en la tasa de prevalencia anticonceptiva entre las poblaciones urbanas y rurales y entre los grupos socio-económicos en Honduras y que la necesidad insatisfecha alcanza un 16.9 por ciento.

It consists of 17 indicators—such as poverty level, method mix, and forecasting ability—that cover the primary components of contraceptive security (supply chain, finance, health and social environment, access, and utilization). The indicators can be used separately to monitor progress in each component. They are also aggregated to establish a composite index to compare countries at a point in time or to monitor progress over time within a country. DELIVER has published a wall chart and a booklet of the Index, which rates 57 countries.
