Description
For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONBD6 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a private hospital/clinic 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. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.

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.
Although FPNONBD6 is a country-specific response, it is combined with other responses in FPNONPRIVHOS, a standard variable that encompasses all private hospitals and clinics as sources of family planning. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONBD6 or the Comparability Tab of FPNONPRIVHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for Bangladesh 2011 and 2018.
In the 2011 Bangladesh survey, there are two separate categories for "private hospital" and "private medical college hospital." As this variable focuses on all private hospitals and clinics, these two responses are consolidated in FPNONPRIVHOS to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
Additionally, in the 2018 Bangladesh survey, there are three separate categories for "private hospital," "private medical college hospital," and "private clinic." These categories are consolidated in FPNONPRIVHOS and are also preserved in FPNONBD6, FPNONBD7, and FPNONBD17 respectively. As this variable focuses on all private hospitals and clinics, these three responses are consolidated in FPNONPRIVHOS to create a more comprehensive response category.
