Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONTG1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a mother-infant protection center as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Togo.

Some samples in the "FPNON" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

FPNONTG2 is combined with FPNONTG1 (health hut) in FPNONPUBHC for the 2013 Togo sample. IPUMS DHS users interested in using FPNONTG1 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

FPNONTG1 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.

Although FPNONTG1 is a country-specific response, it is combined with other responses in FPNONPUBHC, a standard variable that encompasses all public health centers as potential sources of family planning. IPUMS DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONTG1 or the Comparability Tab of FPNONPUBHC for more information on the specific categories combined for the Togo 2013 sample.
