Description

FPBFRELPGHOW (V397) reports how the woman thought breastfeeding affects the risk of pregnancy (increases risk, decreases risk, unchanged risk, or depends). Women who answered "No" to a preceding question about whether breastfeeding affects the risk of pregnancy (FPBFLINKPG) (V396) are coded "0" (unchanged risk) for FPBFRELPGHOW.

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.

FPBFRELPGHOW (V397) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phases 2 and 3.

Comparability — Tanzania [top]

Most samples provided two questions to determine whether the woman believed breastfeeding could affect the likelihood of pregnancy and, if so, how chances of pregnancy are affected. The 1996 Tanzania survey form instead asked the following single question:

Some women think that breastfeeding can affect their chance of becoming pregnant. Do you think a woman's chance of becoming pregnant is increased, decreased, or not affected by breasfeeding?

It is unclear whether the introductory statement affected women's responses.
