Greetings,
I'm hoping to reconcile some information concerning measurement of reasons for non-use of contraception, both among current and future (intended) non-users. I've found that Recode VI indicates that both metrics are "no longer part of the DHS VI core questionnaire, but the variable is kept in the DHS VI recode." We nonetheless find both questions in the round 6 questionnaire (Q709), though surveys from that period appear to inconsistently report on one or both indicators. Could you please explain why this is the case?
I checked the round VII questionnaire, and it does include reasons for non-use, this time in Q810. Does this mean that both metrics will be consistently reported moving forward?
Thanks for your help.
Best,
Kaja

Dear User,
Here is a response from one of our data processing experts, Mr. Guillermo Rojas:
Quote:In previous DHS phases (up to 5, I believe) we used to have single variable V376 "Main reason not to use a method", that variable was dropped from the DHS 6 questionnaire. In DHS 5 (Q707) and DHS 6 (Q709) there is a multiple answer question (Reason not using a method) which is stored in variables V3A08x, where x goes from A to Z. V376 was left in the DHS 6 recode definition in case a country wants to keep the variable. Thank you for your post.

These difference here are cases where the answer to question 810 was missing, typically because of interviewer error or possibly refusal by the respondent. If you see the .FRQ file and look at V3A08A you will see these cases marked MISSING.

Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:
Thanks for being more specific. The binary outcome variable would be calculated as follows:
gen outcome=0 if (v501==1 | v501==2) & v313==0 & v362==5
replace outcome=1 if outcome==0 & v3a08c==1
In STATcompiler, the description of the outcome says that the denominator is all currently married women. Actually the denominator has to be further restricted to women who are not using and do not intend to use (v313==0 & v362==5). I have suggested that the online description be updated.
