Description

SEHEARDINFERT reports whether the woman has experienced or heard about infertility/sterility as a side effect of a contraceptive method. The universe of this variable includes all women who reported having experienced or heard about any side effects of a contraceptive method: this includes current, recent, and past users of contraception as well as women who have heard about but never used contraception.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPSEINFERT which indicates whether the woman has experienced infertility/sterility as a side effect of using a contraceptive method, and FPSENOWINFERT which indicates whether the woman is currently experiencing infertility/sterility as a side effect of a contraceptive method. SEFEARINFERT indicates whether the woman is concerned about infertility/sterility as a side effect of a contraceptive method.

This question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire.
