Comparability — Index
Comparability
Variations in question wording for FPFPWORKHR potentially limit comparability. The reference period varies across samples (e.g., "in the past 6 months" versus "in the past month").
Varying time intervals could lead to variation in the frequency of responses. Researchers interested in using FPFPWORKHR should take the reference period and question wording into consideration when comparing across samples. See Survey Text.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPFPWORKHR is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Jordan [top]
The 1997 Jordan questionnaire asks an open-ended question about where the woman receives information about family planning, with "JAFPP staff" listed as a response category. This question does not include any time interval, which may limit comparability for the 1997 Jordan sample.
