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.
