CONTRACEPTION OTHER METHOD refers to a supporting method of CONTRACEPTION provided to the PATIENT in addition to the main method. For example oral pills may be provided with an Intrauterine Device (IUD) device and condoms.

Validation Rules:

• If CONTRACEPTION OTHER METHOD is recorded as a value between 1 and 13 then CONTRACEPTION PRINCIPAL METHOD must also record a value between 1 and 13 or CONTRACEPTION METHOD POST COITAL must also record a value 1 or 2. 
• If a PATIENT is receiving an auxiliary CONTRACEPTION METHOD to support their CONTRACEPTION PRINCIPAL METHOD therefore the CONTRACEPTION PRINCIPAL METHOD and CONTRACEPTION METHOD STATUS must be recorded or the auxiliary is to support emergency CONTRACEPTION then the CONTRACEPTION METHOD POST COITAL must be recorded.
