Description

CONUSHUS4WK indicates whether the respondent used a condom with her husband in the last 4 weeks.

CONUSHUS4WK only reports condom use for married women having sex with their husbands. Researchers interested in condom use in the last 4 weeks, regardless of the respondent's sexual partner, may be interested in the following variables:

  • CONUS4WK indicates whether the respondent used a condom with any partner in the past 4 weeks.
  • CONUSEXMAR4WK indicates whether the married respondent used a condom with anyone other than her husband in the past 4 weeks.
  • CONUSUNMAR4WK indicates whether the unmarried respondent used a condom with any sex partner in the past 4 weeks.
