Hello,

Currently using 2008-09 Kenyan DHS.

I am trying to find a variable that measures dual method of contraception, i.e. condom and any other method.
Variable v312 lists the types of contraceptives that respondents are currently using
and v761- whether respondent used a condom during last sex.

Would it be wrong to use information from v312 on condoms + another method of contraceptive from v312?
i.e., v312 (condom)+ v312 (injections)/ v312 (condom)+ v312 (norplant) etc.

STATA code:
gen dualuse=.
replace dualuse=1 if v312==5 & v312== 1| v312==2| v312==3| v312==11

Would the above code accurately measure dual use?

Many thanks,
Elsie
