Percentages of all women who are not using contraception who in the last 12 months:
1) were visited by a fieldworker who discussed family planning,
2) visited a health facility and discussed family planning,
3) visited a health facility but did not discuss family planning,
4) who did not discuss family planning with a fieldworker or at a health facility
Coverage:
Population base: All women who are not using a contraceptive method (IR file)
Time period: 12 months preceding the survey
Numerators:
1) Number of all women age 15-49 who were visited by a fieldworker in the preceding 12 months who discussed family planning (v393a = 1)
2) Number of all women age 15-49 who visited a health facility in the preceding 12 months and who discussed family planning (v394 = 1 & v395 = 1)
3) Number of all women age 15-49 who visited a health facility in the preceding 12 months but who did not discuss family planning (v394 = 1 & v395 ≠ 1)
4) Number of all women age 15-49 who did not discuss family planning with either a field worker or at a health facility in the preceding 12 months (v393a ≠ 1 & v395 ≠ 1)
Denominator: Number of all women age 15-49 who are not using a contraceptive method (v312 = 0)
Variables: IR file.

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.
Women who are unsure or with missing values are considered as not having been visited by a field worker or visited a health facility or having discussed family planning. These women are included in the denominator of the percentages.
The wording of the questions on contact with a fieldworker or health facility staff member have differed over time. In DHS-III, the question on fieldworker contact referred specifically to a family planning worker while later phases DHS asked about contact with a fieldworker without reference to family planning specifically. The question on health facility contacts in the past 12 months also varied slightly between rounds: the DHS-III question referred to visits to a health facility for any reason while in subsequent rounds the question specifically asked about visits for care for the woman or her children.
