Abstract
This paper illustrates the use of the multistate hazards model for tra nsitions and reverse transitions among more than one transient state e merging from follow-up studies. In addition a simple method is demonst rated for testing the equality of parameters for a transition from one state to another for the first time and subsequent times. This has be en applied to contraceptive use dynamics data in Bangladesh.
