Description

Definition
For women who are not currently using a method of contraception and are at risk of pregnancy, FPYNOTNOSEX (V3A08B) indicates whether they reported "not having sex" in response to an open-ended question about reasons for not using contraception.

Due to universe differences and the use of supplemental programming, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab.
