| Descripción: | Introduction: In Mexico, one of the most important explanations given for the rapid reduction in fertility has been the widespread use of contraceptive methods since the 1970s. However, the differences in the use of contraceptive methods respond to very different socio-cultural contexts that have been weakening over time. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze and describe the change in the use of contraceptive methods in two cohorts of women in Mexico. Methodology: The analysis of the timing and intensity of the first use of contraceptive methods and of sexual intercourse was carried out using the Kaplan-Meier method. In addition, indicators linked to these events were calculated, such as: the type of contraceptive used, the number of previous children and the reasons for not using contraceptive methods. The source of information with which the objective is carried out is the National Survey of Demographic Dynamics of 2018. . Results: It is observed in the results that one of the most frequent reasons for not using contraceptive methods in the first sexual intercourse is due to the fact that they did not plan to have sexual intercourse or did not have the necessary information. Similarly, the median age at first use of contraceptive methods among women in the two birth cohorts analyzed in this work has decreased from 30 to 26 years of age. Conclusions: The main results reveal that young women are increasingly using contraceptive methods for the first sexual intercourse; however, it cannot be said that this use is constant and of their own conviction. |
