In 2022, around one third of contraceptive-using women in the U.S. said they had at some point missed taking birth control on time due to supply problems. The largest share corresponded to Black women, with nearly four in every ten missing taking their birth control on time because they were unable to get their next supply. This statistic illustrates the percentage of contraceptive-using women in the U.S. who missed taking their birth control on time due to a lack of supply as of 2022, by race and ethnicity.
