Hi,

I am looking at reason for non-use of contraception among individuals with unmet need in India. My understanding is that the base of the variable for individuals reporting a reason for non-use (v3a08a-z) is individuals that report having sex in the last 12 months (from v527). There are 699,686 rows of data in the India woman's survey data. 139,773 report a reason for non-use of contraception. However, 122,686 (87.8%) have NA or 0 for frequency of sex in the last 12 months with their last 3 partners (v853a-c). My understanding though, is that for the base of v3a08a-z, they would need a value greater than 0 for v853a-c. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Blake
