For any women reporting using two methods concurrently, only one method is recorded and this is the first (generally the most effective) method from the list of method codes. \n\n\u00b7As for the contraceptive methods, the calendar does not permit reporting of more than one reason for discontinuation of a method. Respondents are asked for the main reason for discontinuation and this is recorded in Column 3 in the calendar. \n\n\u00b7When switching methods, the method that was discontinued and the reason for discontinuation are recorded in that month, and the first month of use of the new method is recorded in the following month. \n\n\u00b7If a respondent stops using a method in a month because they become pregnant, then either the method use or the pregnancy is recorded in the month. The months of pregnancy are recorded first, but because these are reported and recorded in completed months, typically the pregnancy would be recorded as starting in the following month, and the method will be recorded in the month in question. For example, assume a respondent was using the condom until about 15th January 2015, when she became pregnant, and she gave birth around 15th October 2015 after 9 months of pregnancy. The interviewer would record a \"B\" in October 2015, and eight \"P\"s in September 2015 back to February 2015 (for a total of 9 months). The interviewer would also record the discontinuation of use of the condom in January 2015 in Column 2 together with the reason for discontinuation in column 3 of the calendar.\n\n\u00b7We do not know the true duration of episodes of contraceptive use because we do not ask the exact starting and end dates of a use. The general rule is that completed months of pregnancy or completed months of use are recorded when durations are provided by the respondent. For example, if a respondent reported that she used a method for 8 months, we would see 8 boxes containing the code for that method. \n\n\u00b7When respondents reported that they started use of a method in a particular month and stopped using it in a particular month, we don't know when exactly that use started and stopped. For example, if we find that a respondent used the pill from February 2015 to April 2015 as marked in the calendar, this could be from February 1 to April 30 (3 months), or could be February 28 to April 1 (closer to 1 month). The general rule is that completed months of use are recorded in the calendar, but the imprecision of the calendar is a limitation.","var_val_range":[{"units":"REAL","min":"-9","max":"9999995"}],"var_universe":"All married (living together with a partner)women aged 15-39 living in the households.r","universe_clusion":"I","var_sumstat":[{"value":"3401","type":"vald"},{"value":"31911","type":"invd"}],"var_txt":"The reasons for discontinuation of contraceptive use.","var_catgry":[{"value":"-9","labl":"NIU (not in universe)","stats":"0","type":"freq"},{"value":"-3","labl":"B (month of birth)","stats":"285","type":"freq"},{"value":"-2","labl":"P (pregnant)","stats":"2326","type":"freq"},{"value":"-1","labl":"T (month of pregnancy termination)","stats":"49","type":"freq"},{"value":"1","labl":"infrequent sex\/husband away","stats":"26","type":"freq"},{"value":"2","labl":"became pregnant while using","stats":"53","type":"freq"},{"value":"3","labl":"wanted to become pregnant","stats":"148","type":"freq"},{"value":"4","labl":"husband\/partner disapproved","stats":"10","type":"freq"},{"value":"5","labl":"wanted more effective method","stats":"74","type":"freq"},{"value":"6","labl":"side effects\/health concerns","stats":"273","type":"freq"},{"value":"7","labl":"lack of access\/too far","stats":"7","type":"freq"},{"value":"8","labl":"costs too much","stats":"6","type":"freq"},{"value":"9","labl":"inconvenient to use","stats":"15","type":"freq"},{"value":"10","labl":"up to God\/fatalistic","stats":"2","type":"freq"},{"value":"11","labl":"difficult to get pregnant\/menopausal","stats":"0","type":"freq"},{"value":"12","labl":"marital dissolution\/separation","stats":"3","type":"freq"},{"value":"13","labl":"other","stats":"122","type":"freq"},{"value":"98","labl":"don't know","stats":"0","type":"freq"},{"value":"9999995","labl":"missing:impute","stats":"2","type":"freq"},{"value":"Sysmiss","labl":null,"stats":"31911","type":"freq"}],"var_format":"numeric","var_format_schema":"other","fid":"F3","sid":"121","survey_idno":"APHRC-2018-STEP-UP-v10"}
