Comparing the health risks and benefits of contraceptive choices.
TLDR
Use of any method prevents more deaths from pregnancy and childbirth than are associated with method use, and the proportion of women who would become infertile is reduced substantially if women at low risk of sexually transmitted diseases use any method andif women at high risk use oral contraceptives or barrier and spermicide methods.
Non-use and use of ineffective methods of contraception
TLDR
This chapter estimates the burden of disease attributable to non-use of contraception and use of ineffective methods and presents a model for linking data on contraceptive use and fertility preferences to unwanted births and unsafe abortions as intermediate outcomes, which were related to the maternal disease burden.

Assessing the role of family planning in reducing maternal mortality.
TLDR

The potential impact of changes in fertility on infant, child, and maternal mortality.
