Literal question
318) I would like to talk about all the times, you and your husband did something to prevent getting pregnant these past years.

USE THE CALENDAR TO DISTINGUISH PERIODS OF USE FROM PERIODS OF NON-USE, STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT USAGE, THEN GOING UP TO JANUARY 1998.

IN COLUMN 2, IN THE LINE FOLLOWING THE LAST MONTH OF USAGE OF THE METHOD, RECORD THE DISCONTINUATION CODES.

THE NUMBER OF CODES IN COLUMN 2 SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF INTERRUPTIONS OF USAGE OF THE METHOD IN COLUMN 1.

Description

Definition
For women who are currently using a contraceptive method, FPCURNOMO (V337) reports the number of months they have been continuously using their current method.

Starting in Phase II, there are differences in the way these data are reported between Model "A" and Model "B" countries, due to the inclusion of a detailed calendar of events in the five years preceding the interview in Model "A" questionnaires. For Model "B" questionnaires, any response greater than 8 years is topcoded at "96." However, for Model "A" questionnaires, the maximum duration of use that could be recorded is the entire length of the calendar (i.e., 5 years).
