Contraceptive Method

Background:

If you are sexually active and do not want to get yourself or your partner pregnant, there are many forms of birth control/contraceptives you can choose from. Condoms are popular because they protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Most forms of contraception, however, do not protect against STIs. Each contraceptive method has its own disadvantages and advantages. Contraceptives aren't 100% effective. Condoms have a 98% success rate, but they can sometimes break. Birth control pills might not be fully effective if you forget to take them on time. Despite all this, contraceptives are effective more than 90% of the time. It is important to know how to use contraceptives properly and regularly if you want to avoid any mishaps. Based on your needs, you would choose accordingly. 

Given the dataset, build a model to predict what contraceptive method each woman would use.
