Definition
FPNOWUSCYCB indicates whether the woman is now using cycle beads (Standard Days Method) to delay or avoid getting pregnant.
Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPNOWUSRHY, which refers to the rhythm method (periodic abstinence), another calendar-based contraceptive method.
IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in FPMETHNOW (V312), which reports the woman's current contraceptive method.
