For some general information about the calendar, we have the Contraceptive Calendar Tutorial at https://www.dhsprogram.com/data/Calendar-Tutorial/index.cfm. I assume you are familiar with that. For the interpretation of survey-specific codes, I usually am able to find them in the questionnaire. Go to the final reports on these surveys, the questionnaire in an appendix, and find the instructions for interviewers for filling in the calendar. Please let us know if this does not include the letters you are looking for.]]>Janet-DHS2022-08-12T20:51:10-00:00Re: Family Planning

Thanks for the reply.
I am actually following the calendar data tutorial. The challenge is the codes in the calendar data to not match those in the questionnaires. When I substring the "vcal_1 and vcal_2" to get the method and reasons codes respectively below is what I get,
The methods and reasons codes in 2011 dataset are;
Method: 012356789BCLMNPTW ('4' is missing)
Reason: 12346789ACDFKW ('5' is missing
The methods and reasons codes in 2016 dataset are;
Method: 012356789BCELMNPSTW ('4' is missing)
Reason: 12346789?ACDFKW ('5' is missing and ? is a code)
When you compare these codes with what in the questionnaire (see list below) they do not much.

Could you please provide some more detailed information so we can better advise you?
Can you let us know:
• Which survey you are using (Include country name and year)?
