Description
FPNOWUSEMRG indicates whether the woman is now using a form of emergency contraception to delay or avoid getting pregnant.
IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in FPMETHNOW (V312), which reports the woman's current contraceptive method.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences, FPNOWUSEMRG is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
A question about the woman's current contraceptive method is included in Phase IV forward of the standard DHS questionnaire, though FPNOWUSEMRG is a country-specific response and is not included in the standard DHS modules.
