Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FCOBJNONE is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FCOBJNONE 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 — Tanzania [top]
The 1996 Tanzania questionnaire does not include "No one" as a response category. Instead, the DHS Program created a variable for "No one," where "Yes, no one objected" was constructed out of respondents with no "yes" responses in the series.
