Comparability
Along with differences in the universe, question wording varies in FPKNOMODSRC (V303), but the variable is largely comparable across samples.
Some samples ask the woman where she knew a source to obtain a method of family planning: "Do you know where to go to get (METHOD)?" Other samples require the women to identify a source for a method of family planning: "Where would you go to obtain (METHOD) if you wanted to use it?"
Additional variations are noted below.
