Description

FPNONGA11 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public hospital/health center hut as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Gabon.

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.

FPNONGA11 is combined with FPNONGA5 (public MCH or maternal and child health center) in FPNONPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2012 Gabon survey.

IPUMS DHS users interested in using FPNONGA11 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
