Dear DHS,

I want to know if a pregnancy is wanted or not. I see question M10 but I do not know if that question is only for those pregnancies ending in a live birth or also for a termination. For example, for Dominican Republic in 2002 there is a woman with two pregnancies and only one of them ended in a live birth. However, only M10_1 has data while M10_2 has "NA". I understand that from M10_3 until M10_6 it will be "NA".

What does it mean the "NA" in M10_2? Does it mean that the pregnancy was wanted although the outcome is "terminated"?

I am looking at the manual but I cannot find a description for M10.

Thanks in advance.


Best regards,

David A. Sanchez P.
