Notes

Last method discontinued in the last five years.
Variables V359 and V360 relate to the last method discontinued in the last five years. The period of five years is taken as an approximate period for the following two variables to allow the classification of the reasons for discontinuation by method. The period of five years cannot be accurately calculated in all cases due to incomplete or missing dates for the start of use of contraceptive methods and incomplete durations for the length of time the method was used. Cases are included if the date of discontinuation of either the method before the current method, for current users, or the last method, for past users, definitely falls within the last five years, or a contraceptive method was used in an interval prior to the birth of a child born in the last five years.
