Additional file 1 of Identifying factors influencing contraceptive use in Bangladesh: evidence from BDHS 2014 data

2014 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data. Description of data: The Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS) 2014 was a nationally representative cross sectional survey conducted between June and November 2014, covering the entire population of Bangladesh. The survey was based on a two-stage stratified sample of households. In the first stage, 600 enumerations areas (EAs) were selected with probability proportional to EA size, with 207 EAs from urban areas and 393 from rural areas, where an EA is either a village, a group of small villages, or a part of a large village. In the second stage, a systematic sample of 30 households on average was selected per EA to provide statistically reliable estimates of the key demographic and health variables for the country as a whole, for urban and rural areas separately and each of the seven divisions which are the administrative regions of Bangladesh. The 2014 BDHS used three types of questionnaires: a household questionnaire, a women questionnaire and a community questionnaire. For the women questionnaire, a total of 18,000 ever married and 16858 currently married (when conducting the interview) women aged between 15-49 years were interviewed. For our study, we considered only currently married women to ensure similar prevalence as BDHS 2014 reported. Further details about the data set can be found from Methods Section. (CSV 24,064 kb)
