Hi Kazuyo,

I think your problem is that your code doesn't include Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) as a modern method. USAID considers LAM as a modern method. To match Revising Unmet Need, you'll want to code v312 = 13 as a modern method. I believe that in some surveys the code for LAM is survey-specific, so might not be code 13. In Spanish-speaking countries LAM is MELA.

Hope that helps,
Sarah
