Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.
Women or men who are unsure or with missing values for heard, saw, or read a family planning message are considered as not hearing, seeing, or reading a message, and are excluded from numerators but included in the denominator.
The reference period in the question on the exposure to family planning messages has changed over time. In DHS I and DHS II “last month” was used and this was changed to the “last few months” in later rounds of DHS.
The question on hearing of family planning by text messages on a mobile phone was added in DHS-7, and the indicator on hearing of family planning messages through none of the media was changed to reflect none of the four media rather than the three media used previously.
In DHS-8 the questions on hearing, seeing or reading family planning messages through social media, poster/leaflet/brochure, outdoor sign/billboard, or at a community meeting/event were added. Questions also changed from asking about the “last few months” to the “last 12 months”. The indicator on hearing of family planning messages through none of the media was also changed to reflect none of the eight media rather than the four media used previously.
