Description
For a woman whose closest friend has ever sought surgery to regulate her period because of a suspected pregnancy, REGSURGLOCFRND1 indicates where the surgery was performed. This variable excludes women whose closest friend sought surgery after trying other methods first; for women whose friend did so, see REGLASTSURGLOCFRND1.
If the friend 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.
