Description

SEHEARDWTGAIN reports whether the woman has experienced or heard about weight gain 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 FPSEWTGAIN which indicates whether the woman has experienced weight gain as a side effect of using a contraceptive method, and FPSENOWWTGAIN which indicates whether the woman is currently experiencing weight gain as a side effect of a contraceptive method. SEFEARWTGAIN indicates whether the woman is concerned about weight gain as a side effect of a contraceptive method.

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