Percent distribution of current users of modern methods, by most recent source of method

 

Definition

 

Percent distribution of current users of modern methods, by most recent source of method.

 

Coverage:

Population base: All women who use a modern method of contraception except for the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) (IR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerator: Number of women, by most recent source of contraception (v326)

 

Denominator: Number of women who currently use a modern method of contraception, excluding LAM (v313 = 3 & v312 ≠ 13)

 

Variables: IR file.

v312

Current contraceptive method

v313

Current use by method type

v326

Last source for current users

v005

Woman’s individual sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Numerator divided by the denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Women who did not know or with missing values for most recent source are included as a separate category.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Percentages add up to 100 percent.

 

Modern methods include female sterilization, male sterilization, pill, IUD, injectables, implants, male condom, female condom, emergency contraception, and SDM.
