Notes

The preferred waiting time to the next birth is grouped into 12 month categories with responses of more than six years coded as 6+ years. Inconsistent and non-numeric responses are coded into one group (7 "Non-numeric"), but with "Don' t know" and missing responses in their own categories (8 & 9). In the example above of the additional response "Wants immediately," this non-numeric code is not grouped with the other non-numeric codes, but is recoded as less than one year waiting time.
