Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONRW2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a public district hospital or provincial/district hospital as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Rwanda.

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.

FPNONRW2 is combined with FPNONRW1 (referral hospital) in FPNONPUBHOS for the 2010 and 2014 Rwandan samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONRW2 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

FPNONRW2 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 FPNONRW2 is a country-specific response, it is combined with other responses in FPNONPUBHOS, a standard variable that encompasses public hospitals as sources of family planning. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONRW2 or the Comparability tab of FPNONPUBHOS for more information on the specific categories combined for Rwanda 2010 and 2014.
