In addition to not contracepting, exposed females are sexually active and non-menopausal.

^⁎Reasons for non-use is a multiple response question and therefore the distribution does not add to 100%.

^⁎⁎Reasons for non-use is only asked of non-contracepting women who do not want children < 2 years, hence the reduced sample size
