Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FPLECTHR is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPLECTHR is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in any phase of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Benin [top]
The 2017 Benin survey asked whether the respondent heard about family planning from "an educational or cultural lesson."
Comparability — Jordan [top]
The 1997 Jordan questionnaire first asks whether the respondent has heard about family planning in lectures in the past six months. This question is followed by an open-ended question about where the woman receives information about family planning, with "lectures" listed as a response category. The responses to these two questions are consolidated in FPLECTHR to maximize comparability.
The 2002 and 2007 Jordan surveys ask whether the respondent has heard about family planning in lectures in the past six months. The 2012 and 2017 Jordan surveys ask whether the respondent has heard about family planning in lectures in the past few months.
