↵a Any method includes at least one of the following: condoms, oral contraceptive pills, emergency contraceptive pills, injectable methods, hormonal patches, spermicides, intrauterine devices (IUDs), mini-mola or Essure (a non-surgical permanent method for women), and Vasalgel (a long-acting gel similar to no-scalpel vasectomy but likely more reversible). Less than 5% of the outlets overall reported having hormonal patches, female condoms, spermicides, IUDs, vaginal rings, or implants. Only 0.1% reported providing mini-mola or Essure or Vasalgel.
↵b Gas stations, hotels, and bars were not included in the calculation of oral contraceptive pills, emergency contraceptive pills, or injectable availability, since those outlets mainly distribute or sell condoms.
