Description

Definition
For women who want to have a/another child, PREFTIMECHGP (V604) reports the amount of time, in years, they would like to wait before the birth of a/another child, top-coded at 6+ years.

PREFTIMECHGP includes women who are either pregnant or at risk of pregnancy. However, the definition of "at risk of pregnancy" varies across samples; see Comparability.

The related variable PREFTIMECH presents the same information in greater detail, in terms of months or years, top-coded at 20 years.
