Description

FPEMRGOTHER indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported some "other" source as the place where she acquired emergency contraception. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific response categories included in a given sample.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPEMRGPUBOTH ("other" under the public medical sector) and FPEMRGPRIVOTH ("other" under the private medical sector). FPEMRGOTHER includes those "other" categories that do not fit into the public or private medical sector.
