Sequence of events following adoption of contraception
Fertility histories from the 1973 United States National Survey of Family Growth are analyzed in the context of a model of contraceptive use based on a Semi‐Markov processes. This model provides a means of constructing data‐based estimates of probabilities of pregnancy following initial acceptance of a contraceptive method. The algorithm used to construct these estimates recognizes multiple intervals of contraceptive used prior to the events: pre…
Measuring potential fertility through null segments
The demographic effectiveness of a family planning program must measure the difference between actual fertility and the "gross" potential fertility, i.e., the natural fertility which would have been achieved without use of contraception. The various methods of measuring "gross" fertility which have been used are described. It is understood that users of contraception are never a random sampling of the general population; they tend to be higher in…
Methodological issues underlying multiple decrement life table analysis
In this paper, the actuarial method of multiple decrement life table analysis of censored, longitudinal data is examined. The discussion is organized in terms of the first segment of usage of an intrauterine device. Weaknesses of the actuarial approach are pointed out, and an alternative approach, based on the classical model of competing risks, is proposed. Finally, the actuarial and the alternative method of analyzing censored data are compared…
