Description

FPNONTD8 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a free clinic as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Chad.

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.

FPNONTD8 is combined with FPNONTD10 (Government/Maternity hospital) and FPNONTD1 (Military hospital) for FPNONPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2014 Chad sample.

IPUMS DHS users interested in using FPNONTD8 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
