Data from the 1983 fertility survey in Jordan indicate that 26 percent of married women were using contraceptives, reflecting a very small relative increase in use in the seven years before the survey. Only 5 percent of nonusers stated that they desired to use a method. Other data from the same survey suggest a potential demand for contraception, for spacing as well as limiting births, among those not using. For example, many recent pregnancies were reported to be unplanned. Also, among nonusers who did not desire to use a method, many stated they did not desire to become pregnant, yet were exposed to the risk of pregnancy. A pool of potential users exists who can be considered in need of contraception (i.e., fecund, not pregnant or desiring pregnancy, and not using contraceptives)--20 percent of all currently married, childbearing-age women--who may become contraceptive users as attitudes toward contraception change.
来自约旦1983年生育调查的数据表明，26%的已婚妇女使用避孕措施，这反映出在调查前的七年里，使用避孕措施的人数相对增幅很小。只有5%的未使用者表示她们希望采用某种避孕方法。同一调查中的其他数据表明，在未使用避孕措施的人群中，对于避孕（包括生育间隔以及限制生育）存在潜在需求。例如，据报告，许多近期怀孕都是意外怀孕。此外，在那些不希望采用避孕方法的未使用者中，许多人表示她们不希望怀孕，但却面临着怀孕的风险。存在一批潜在使用者，他们可被视为有避孕需求（即具有生育能力、未怀孕或不想要孩子且未使用避孕措施），占目前所有已婚育龄妇女的20%，随着对避孕态度的改变，她们可能会成为避孕措施使用者。
