Description

FPEMRGIA3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public rural hospital as the place where she acquired emergency contraception. This response category is country-specific to India.

Some samples in the "FPEMRG" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

FPEMRGIA3 is combined with FPEMRGIA2 (public government/municipal hospital) in FPEMRGPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2019 India sample.

Comparability

FPEMRGIA3 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

FPEMRGIA3 is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Although FPEMRGIA3 is a country-specific response not included in the standard DHS modules, it is combined with other responses in FPEMRGPUBHOS, a variable that encompasses all public hospitals as a location where emergency contraception was acquired. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPEMRGIA3 or the Comparability tab of FPEMRGPUBHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for the 2019 India sample.
