Description
Definition
FPMETHNOW (V312) reports the contraceptive method the woman is currently using.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
Answers are grouped under the broad categories of "modern methods," "traditional methods," and "other methods," each with a different first digit. Specific methods are distinguished by the second and third digits. See FPEVUSE for more information on broad categories of contraception.
Closely related responses, such as various groupings of diaphragm/foam/jelly, share the first 2 digits in common, while the third digit distinguishes the exact response category.
