Description
FP1STADVISE reports who first advised the woman to use her first family planning method.
The related variable FP1METH (V369) reports the first family planning method the woman used.
Comparability
FP1STADVISE has no comparability problems.
To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, with the first digit indicating major categories (e.g. "Healthcare worker" is code "10"), and the second digit indicating specific people or places (e.g. "Maternal and child health worker" is code "11").
