Notes

Fertility preferences and certainty of the preferences. This variable is created from a series of questions in the Model "A" questionnaire. Firstly, a question relating to the respondent's desire for a future birth is asked. For each possible response to this question a second question is asked, further classifying the responses to produce nine categories (1-7,12,99). If the respondent is sterilized then a separate series of questions are asked leading to four categories (8-11). The code missing is used only if the answer to the first question on fertility preferences is missing. If the response missing is used for one of the secondary questions then this is coded with the "Unsure" category for that question. Similarly, if the response is missing for the question relating to regret for the sterilization then code 11 is used.
