Notes
Pattern of contraceptive use provides information on whether the respondent is currently using a method and for those who are not currently using whether they did so before or after their last birth or whether they never used a contraceptive method. Prior to the DHS VI recode this variable was based on ever-use by method in the contraceptive table (V302) and the calendar, but since ever-use is no longer included in the DHS VII core questionnaire, this variable is now based on V302A.
