Contraceptive switching among American women: A dynamic analysis of event history

Based on the retrospective information on month-by-month contraceptive status provided by American women 15-44 years of age in the 1976 and the 1988 National Survey of Family Growth NSFG-II and NSFG-IV, the study uses a method of event history to examine how American women change their birth control practices as they pass through their reproductive life and how their patterns of contraceptive switching vary by social and demographic characteristics.
