Description
Definition
FERTCERT (V601) is constructed from a series of questions reporting the woman's fertility preference and the level of certainly of her preferences.
Like FERTPREF (V602), FERTCERT (V601) draws upon the question, "Would you like to have a (another) child or would you prefer not to have any (more) children?" The standard response categories are "have another," no more/none," "says she can't get pregnant," and "undecided or don't know." Depending on the woman's response to this initial question, a follow-up question is then asked to gauge the woman's level of certainty. Such a question might read as follows: "Would you say that you definitely do not want to have (more) children, or are you not sure?" FERTCERT (V601) is coded based on the woman's responses to these two questions.
