Description

FPCURRECUSER indicates whether the woman was using a method of family planning or doing anything to delay or avoid getting pregnant at the time of the interview, or did anything to delay or avoid getting pregnant in the 12 months before the interview.

The information in FPCURRECUSER is derived from two different questions. The female questionnaire initially asks "Are you/your partner currently doing something or using any method to delay or avoid getting pregnant?" or some slight variation. The woman's response to this question is reported in FPCURRUSE. Women who answered "No" to this question are then asked "In the last 12 months, have you ever done something or used a method to delay or avoid getting pregnant?" The woman's response to this question is reported in FPUSEYR. Women who responded "Yes" to either of these questions are coded as "Yes" in FPCURRECUSER.

The questions associated with this variable were included in the female questionnaire.
