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

Dear User,
Here is a response from one of our data processing experts, Mr. Noureddine Abderrahim:
V312 gives the most important method used and the order is given by the filter 323 in the woman's questionnaire. However, the survey asked in question 311 about all the methods used by the respondents. The answers to question 311 are stored in the variable V307 of the distributed recode data file.

Thank you!
