Comparability

In addition to universe differences, FPCURPROB (V338) also differs slightly in question wording across samples. Most commonly, the question was "What is the main problem [with current method]?" or some similar variation. Samples with significantly different wording are noted below.

To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding and a 3-digit coding system. The first digit indicates whether there is a problem: 0) no, and 1) yes. In cases where a problem is indicated, the second digit distinguishes broad subcategories, while the third digit provides additional detail. For example, a code of "240" would indicate a general health concern, and the further detail in code "241" indicates side effects.

Comparability - Standard DHS

FPCURPROB (V338) is included in the standard model "A" DHS questionnaires (for countries with high contraceptive prevalence) for Phases I and II.

Comparability — Burkina Faso [top]

The Burkina Faso 1993 survey only asks whether there was a problem with the woman's current method, not the exact nature of the problem.
