Description

Women who stated that female circumcision should continue (in FCCONTINU) were asked a follow-up question about why it should continue. FCCDK captures whether they did not know (or did not supply) a reason for why the practice should continue.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FCCDK has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

FCCDK is included in neither the standard DHS questionnaire nor in any of the three versions of the standard DHS module on female circumcision.
