Description
Jennifer Schlie, Timo Schinköthe, and Annette Schmidt survey contraceptive use among German servicewomen in a 2026 nationwide study. No systematic figures existed for this group, though hormone use bears on health and readiness. An anonymous online survey with 40 questions drew 2,818 completed replies, a response rate of 11.2 percent.
Current hormonal contraceptive use stood at 38.1 percent, led by combined pills at 18.5 percent, then hormonal coils at 8.9 percent and progestin-only pills at 8.4 percent across the sample, and use fell with age. Preventing pregnancy drove choices for 82 percent of users, ahead of easing period pain and bleeding, while only 13 percent cited cycle control for performance. Long-acting implants and injections were almost absent.
