Description

FPNONGA7 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a public hospital pharmacy 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.

FPNONGA7 is combined with FPNONGA3 (National Social Security pharmacy) and FPNONGA9 (Public dispensary) in FPNONPUBDRUG (all public pharmacies) in the 2000 Gabon survey.

IPUMS DHS users interested in using FPNONGA7 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
