Description

Comparability
Along with universe differences, variations in question wording for FPOTHHR limit comparability. Along with the differing meaning of "other," the reference period varies across surveys. Some surveys referred to "the last few months"; other surveys stated a specific number of months, such as one month or six months.
Varying time intervals could lead to variation in the frequency of responses. Researchers interested in using FPOTHHR should take the reference period and question wording into consideration when comparing across samples. See Survey Text.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPOTHHR is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS questionnaire.
Comparability — Jordan [top]
The 1997 Jordan questionnaire asks an open-ended question about where the woman receives information about family planning. This question does not include any time interval, which may limit comparability for the 1997 Jordan sample.
Comparability — Liberia [top]
The 2013 Liberia survey asked whether the female respondent had heard the family planning slogan "Babies by Choice."
