Description

For women who gave birth in the 3 years before the survey's calendar period, PRECABSFLAG (V435) is a flag variable that indicates the type of problem, if any, found in editing responses on their duration of postpartum abstinence. The survey's calendar period is typically 5 years, meaning PRECABSFLAG usually refers to births between 6 and 8 years before the survey. Cases without a problem are coded to 0.

For duration of postpartum abstinence, see PRECABSDUR (V433).
