Description
For women aged 15-49 who have ever induced an abortion to terminate a pregnancy, and who sought more than one method to do so, ABORLASTMETH indicates which method she tried last. If the woman had aborted multiple pregnancies, the interviewer specified that this response should refer only to the most recent pregnancy.
The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire.
