Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FCOBJRREL is largely comparable across samples.
Only samples with potential comparability issues are discussed below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FCOBJRREL is a country-specific variable and is included in neither the standard DHS questionnaire nor in any version of the standard DHS module on female circumcision.
Comparability — Niger [top]
The Niger 1998 survey words the response category as "Other relative of the mother." It is presumed that "mother" denotes the woman respondent.
