REGMETH
Only method used to regulate period
Codes and Frequencies
Description
If the woman has ever done something to regulate her period because of a suspected pregnancy, and if she used only one method to do so, REGMETH indicates which method she used. If the woman has ever had an abortion to terminate a pregnancy, this variable refers only to a suspected pregnancy after the most recent pregnancy that was aborted.
The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire.
