Description

For women who have at least one circumcised daughter, FCTOOLDAU reports what tool was used to cut the daughter's genitals during female circumcision.

The related variable FCTOOL reports the type of tool used in the woman respondent's own circumcision.

Comparability

Along with universe differences, FCTOOLDAU differs across samples in response categories. To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding for this variable. For example, all samples share a first digit of "1" for the common response "blade/razor," while the second digit provides additional detail when available (e.g., "own blade/razor" as code "11").

Comparability - Standard DHS

FCTOOLDAU is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire or in any of the three versions of the standard DHS module on female genital cutting.
