Description

LASTSEXTIME denotes the number of days, weeks, months or years ago that the respondent last engaged in sexual intercourse. It includes information for both men and women.

This variable uses composite coding to indicate both the unit and the number of the response, such that the first digit signifies unit (1= days, 2= weeks, 3= months, 4= years) and the next two digits report number. Therefore, numbers in the 100s mean time since last sexual intercourse was reported in days, numbers in the 200s mean it was reported in weeks, numbers in the 300s mean it was reported in months, and numbers in the 400s mean it was reported in years. For example, 101 means "1 day" and 120 means “20 days”. Similarly, 201 means "1 week" and 220 means “20 weeks”; 301 means "1 month" and 320 means “20 months”; finally, 401 means "1 year" and 420 means “20 years”.

This variable is constructed from separate variables for unit and number; see LASTSEXTIMEU and LASTSEXTIMEN.

Comparability

There are universe differences with respect to age, with Round 3 women samples addressing the survey question only to women age 15-24. A small number of samples restrict the universe of respondents based on marital or cohabitation status, fertility history, or sexual experience.
