[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST DR0xgGA9. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background For the first time, models using multilevel analysis of Indian data and related simulation results are reported. They take hierarchical structure into account and incorporate variables from all levels to get correct analysis and proper interpretation of data on current contraceptive use (including sterilization and modem methods). Methods The data from an Indian State, Uttar Pradesh (UP), collected by the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted during 10 October 1992 to 22 February 1993 was used. For model I, 7851 currently married women who were neither pregnant nor had continuing post-partum amenorrhoea (PPA) were considered. For model II, these women with at least one child (n=6748) were used. Two-level logistic regression analysis was carried out for which women's level (level 1) and PSU (Primary Sampling Unit) level (level 2) variables were considered. The results were considered significant at the 5% level of significance. Simulation analysis using each model was also carried out. Results Model I reveals that those more likely to adopt contraception were women exposed to a TV message (odds ratio [OR]=1.3 ; 95% CI : 1.1-1.6) ; whose houses were pucca (bricks and mortar) (OR=1.3 ; 95% CI : 1.1-1.5) ; who were educated to high school level and above (OR=2.9 ; 95% CI : 2.2-3.7) ; whose husbands were literate with schooling of >= 11 years (OR=1.7 ; 95% CI : 1.4-2.1) ; and who had >=2 living sons (OR=2.2 ; 95% CI : 1.1-4.4).
