Contraceptive use track 20

Description

Track20 customizes the database prepared by the United Nations, editing, adding, and deleting surveys for use in the FP2020 countries.

Usage

contraceptive_use_track20

Format

A data frame with 31 variables:

division_numeric_code

‘Numeric’ 3-digit M49 country code (United Nations, 2019).

start_date

‘Numeric’ Year, as a decimal (e.g., 1999.24...), marking the start of the reference period.

end_date

‘Numeric’ Year, as a decimal (e.g., 2006.44...), marking the end of the reference period.

is_in_union

‘Character’ taking values “Y” or “N”. Rows with “Y” are observations for married/in-union women; rows with “N” are observations for unmarried/not-in-union women. See also the section “Notes on cohabiting partnerships” below.

age_range

‘Character’ age range, e.g., “15-49”, “15-19”, etc. This is the age range for which the observation can be used to produce estiamtes for, not the age range surveyed.

data_series_type

‘Character’ taking values “DHS”, “MICS”, “National survey”, “PMA”, or “Other”. Indicates the source survey.

group_type_relative_to_baseline

‘Character’ indicating any difference relative to the baseline group, namely married/in-union or unmarried/not-in-union women (according to is_in_union). This field is used to assign mislcassification biases (see appendices to (Alkema, et al., 2013; Wheldon et al., 2018). When is_in_union == "Y", takes values in:

AL

(“all women”) All women, regardless of marital/union status, included in the survey.

BS

(“both sexes”) Men and women included in the survey.

EM

(“ever married”) Ever-married women included in the survey.

HW

(“husbands/wives”) Husbands and wives included in the survey.

MW

(“married women”) Survey population was married women, i.e., no difference relative to baseline group.

SA

(“sexually active”) All sexually active women, regardless of marital status, included in the survey.

When is_in_union == "N", takes values in:

FM

Steriliztion was the only contraceptive method recorded.

PW

(“partnered women”) Only women with a partner were included in the survey. See also the section “Notes on cohabiting partnerships” below.

UW

(“unmarried women”) Survey population was unmarried women, i.e., no difference relative to baseline group.

contraceptive_use_modern

‘Numeric’ Prevalence of modern contraceptive use.

contraceptive_use_traditional

‘Numeric’ Prevalence of traditional contraceptive use.

contraceptive_use_any

‘Numeric’ Prevalence of contraceptive use, any method.

unmet_need_modern

‘Numeric’ Unmet need for modern methods of contraception.

unmet_need_any

‘Numeric’ Unmet need for contraception, any method.

is_pertaining_to_methods_used_since_last_pregnancy

‘Character’ Takes values “N” and “Y”. If “Y”, observation pertains to contraceptive methods used since last pregnancy.

pertaining_to_methods_used_since_last_pregnancy_reason

‘Character’ If is_pertaining_to_methods_used_since_last_pregnancy == "Y", provides an explanation, otherwise blank.

has_geographical_region_bias

‘Character’ Takes values “N” and “Y”. If “Y”, observation is likely biased due to geographical region covered.

geographical_region_bias_reason

‘Character’ If has_geographical_region_bias == "Y", provides an explanation, otherwise blank.

has_non_pregnant_and_other_positive_biases

‘Character’ Takes values “N” and “Y”. If “Y”, observation likely subject to positive biases due to reasons other than pregnancy, geography, or age group.

non_pregnant_and_other_positive_biases_reason

‘Character’ If has_non_pregnant_and_other_positive_biases == “Y”, provides an explanation, otherwise blank.

age_group_bias

‘Character’ One of “+”, “-”, “?”, or “None”. Indicates the direction of likely bias due the survey targeting an age group other than 15-49. “+” and “-” indicate positive and negative bias, respectively. “?” indicates a bias of unknown direction, and “None” indicates no bias.

modern_method_bias

‘Character’ One of “+”, “-”, or “None”. Indicates observations likely to be biased due to the inclusion (“+”) or exclusion (“-”) of sterilization from modern method use.

has_traditional_method_bias

‘Character’ taking values “Y” or “N”. Indicates observations likely to be biased due to the inclusion of folk methods in traditional method use.

traditional_method_bias_reason

This field is not used.

has_absence_of_probing_questions_bias

‘Character’ taking values “Y” or “N”. Indicates observations likely to be biased due to the absense of probing questions in survey about knowledge of specific contraceptive methods.

se_modern

‘Numeric’ Estimated design-based standard error of contraceptive_use_modern.

se_traditional

‘Numeric’ Estimated design-based standard error of contraceptive_use_traditional.

se_unmet_need

‘Numeric’ Estimated design-based standard error of unmet_need_for_any_method.

se_log_r_modern_no_use

‘Numeric’ Estimated design-based standard error of the quantity

    contraceptive_use_modern / (1 - contraceptive_use_any_method)

se_log_r_traditional_no_use

‘Numeric’ Estimated design-based standard error of the quantity

    contraceptive_use_traditional / (1 - contraceptive_use_any_method)

se_log_r_unmet_no_need

‘Numeric’ Estimated design-based standard error of the quantity

    unmet_need_for_any_method / (1 - contraceptive_use_any_method)

source_id

‘Numeric’ Unique source (i.e., survey) identifer.

record_id

‘Numeric’ Unique record identifier.

Details

In general, differences stem from: * Timelines to finalize datasets (UNPD finalizes data in February, while Track20 adds new surveys through April) * Use of microdata versus published reports * Hierarchy of method effectiveness * Coding of individual methods as modern or traditional * Survey specific classification of Lactational Amenorrhea Method * Changes between versions of reports * Differences in PMA2020 data * Exclusions/Inclusion of surveys
