Use of DMPA-SC/Sayana Press

 

Percentage of current injectable users using DMPA-SC/Sayana Press, and among women using DMPA-SC/Sayana Press, percent distribution by the person administering the injection the last time

 

Definition

 

1)      Percentage of current injectable users using DMPA-SC/Sayana Press

2)      Among women using DMPA-SC/Sayana Press, percent distribution by the person administering the injection the last time

 

Coverage:

Population base: All women (IR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerator:

1)      Number of women who are currently using the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press injectable (v3a11 = 1)

2)      Number of women who are currently using the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press injectable (v3a11 = 1), by person who injected it last time: self, healthcare provider, or unsure (v3a12)

 

Denominator:

a)       Number of women who are currently using an injectable (v312 = 3)

b)      Number of women who are currently using the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press injectable (v3a11 = 1)

 

Variables: IR file.

v312

Current contraceptive method

v3a11

Type of injectable based on picture observation

v312

Person who injected last time

v005

Woman’s individual sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Women who do not know what kind of injectable they have used are included in the denominator of women who are currently using an injectable, but not included in the numerator of women currently using a DMPA-SC/Sayana Press.

 

Women who did not know who injected the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press or with missing values for most recent source are included as a separate category.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Percentages of who injected the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press add up to 100 percent.

 

Women who report currently using an injectable form of contraception are shown two pictures to identify which kind of injectable they have. One picture is of the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press and the other is of a needle and syringe. Women are counted as having used DMPA-SC/Sayana Press if they identify that their injectable resembles the picture of the DMPA-SC/Sayana Press.
