Condoms — Who Walks Away
How we get to the number
4,159 Ever used Condoms: respondents where this method appears in their contraceptive history (RECODE ever-use flag).
316 Stopped due to dissatisfaction: of those, respondents with METHSTOP code 4 in any METHSTOP01–09 slot (EA-2 / EA-17 section). Unique respondent count — multiple mentions of the same method are counted once.
The remaining 3,843 women either continued using condoms, stopped for other reasons, or were never dissatisfied with any method.
