Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONCM2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a mission health center or dispensary as a source of family planning in response. This response category is country-specific to Cameroon.

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.

FPNONCM2 is combined with FPNONCM1 (private religious hospital) in FPNONPRIVMIS for the Cameroon samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONCM2 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

FPNONCM2 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.

Though FPNONCM2 is a country-specific response, it is combined with other responses in FPNONPRIVMIS, a variable that encompasses all faith-based health facilities as sources of family planning. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONCM2 or the Comparability tab of FPNONPRIVMIS for more information on the specific categories combined for Cameroon 2004 and 2011.
