Description
For women who were not using a contraceptive method at the start of the calendar period but had used a method in the interval prior to the calendar, FPPRECALENDMO (V390) reports the month she stopped using the last contraceptive method used during the interval prior to the calendar.
For women who had at least one birth before the start of the calendar, the interval is between the last birth prior to the start of the calendar and the start of the calendar. For women who had no births before the start of the calendar, the interval is any time before the start of the calendar.
