Description
FPNOWUSTRAD indicates whether the woman is now using some "other" traditional or folkloric method to delay or avoid getting pregnant. The meaning of "other" traditional method depends on the specific response categories included in a given sample.
IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in FPMETHNOW (V312), which reports the woman's current contraceptive method.
Comparability
Apart from slight variation in question wording, FPNOWUSTRAD 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 FPNOWUSTRAD is a country-specific response and is not included in the standard DHS modules.
