The consistency of self-reported contraceptive use over short periods of time is important for understanding measurement reliability. We assess the consistency of and change in contraceptive use using longitudinal data from 9,390 urban female clients interviewed in DR Congo, India, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. Clients were interviewed in-person at a health facility and four to six months later by phone. We compared reports of contraceptive use at baseline with recall of baseline contraceptive use at follow-up. Agreement between these measures ranged from 59.1 percent in DR Congo to 84.4 percent in India. Change in both contraceptive method type (sterilization, long-acting, short-acting, nonuse) and use status (user, nonuser, discontinuer, adopter, switcher) was assessed comparing baseline to follow-up reports and retrospective versus current reports within the follow-up survey. More change in use was observed with panel reporting than within the cross section. The percent agreement between the two scenarios of change ranged from 64.8 percent in DR Congo to 84.5 percent in India, with cross-site variation. Consistently reported change in use status was highest for nonusers, followed by users, discontinuers, adopters, and switchers. Inconsistency in self-reported contraceptive use, even over four to six months, was nontrivial, indicating that studying measurement reliability of contraceptive use remains important.

客户报告避孕药具使用情况总是准确的吗?通过多国研究衡量一致性和变化

短期内自我报告的避孕药具使用的一致性对于理解测量可靠性很重要。我们使用来自刚果民主共和国、印度、肯尼亚、尼日尔、尼日利亚和布基纳法索的 9,390 名城市女性客户的纵向数据评估避孕药具使用的一致性和变化。客户在一家医疗机构接受了面对面的采访,四到六个月后通过电话采访了他们。我们比较了基线避孕使用的报告与随访时基线避孕使用的回忆。这些措施之间的一致性从刚果民主共和国的 59.1% 到印度的 84.4% 不等。避孕方法类型(灭菌、长效、短效、不使用)和使用状态(使用者、非使用者、停用者、采用者、Switcher) 进行了评估,比较基线与后续报告以及回顾性与后续调查中的当前报告。面板报告中观察到的使用变化比横截面中的变化更大。两种变化情景之间的一致性百分比从刚果民主共和国的 64.8% 到印度的 84.5% 不等,存在跨地点差异。一致报告的使用状态变化在非用户中最高,其次是用户、停用者、采用者和切换者。自我报告的避孕使用情况不一致,即使超过四到六个月,也很重要,这表明研究避孕使用的测量可靠性仍然很重要。两种变化情景之间的一致性百分比从刚果民主共和国的 64.8% 到印度的 84.5% 不等,存在跨地点差异。一致报告的使用状态变化在非用户中最高,其次是用户、停用者、采用者和切换者。自我报告的避孕使用情况不一致,即使超过四到六个月,也很重要,这表明研究避孕使用的测量可靠性仍然很重要。两种变化情景之间的一致性百分比从刚果民主共和国的 64.8% 到印度的 84.5% 不等,存在跨地点差异。一致报告的使用状态变化在非用户中最高,其次是用户、停用者、采用者和切换者。自我报告的避孕使用情况不一致,即使超过四到六个月,也很重要,这表明研究避孕使用的测量可靠性仍然很重要。
