Kaiser survey: Many women skipping preventive care


 

Among women who did use contraception, 32% said it was fully covered by insurance, 31% said it was partially covered, 10% said it was covered by Medicaid, and 18% said they did not have coverage.

The survey was conducted among a nationally representative random digit dial telephone sample, and a shorter companion survey with a nationally representative sample of 700 men aged 18-64 years was conducted at the same time. The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 3 percentage points for the full sample of women and plus or minus 4 percentage points for men.
