Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONBD11 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported some "other" NGO source as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.

Some samples in the "FPNON" 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.

FPNONBD11 is combined with FPNONBD8 (NGO static clinic), FPNONBD9 (NGO satellite clinic), and FPNONBD10 (NGO depot holder) in FPNONNGO (all NGO sources) for the 2007 Bangladesh sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONBD11 are encouraged to review FPNONNGO for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from slight universe differences, FPNONBD11 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question about where family planning can be obtained for women not currently using a method is included in Phase IV forward of the standard DHS questionnaire. FPNONBD11 is a country-specific response.

To increase comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS created the standard variable FPNONNGO to integrate samples including "NGO" as a source of family planning. FPNONBD11 is combined with other responses in this variable for the 2007 Bangladesh sample. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONBD11 or the Comparability Tab of FPNONNGO for more information on the specific categories combined for the Bangladesh 2007.
