Description

FPNONKM4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a government health center as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Comoros.

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.

FPNONKM4 is combined with FPNONKM1 (public medical surgical center), FPNONKM2 (public urban medical center), and FPNONKM3 (public community health center) in FPNONPUBHC (all public health centers) for the 2012 Comoros survey.

IPUMS DHS users interested in using FPNONKM4 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
