Description

FPPROBDIAS2 (V308_04) reports the woman's opinion about the main problem, if any, with using a diaphragm as a family planning method. Interviewers collected the information through an open-ended question and then recorded the woman's response using country-specific codes.

IPUMS-DHS interested in using FPPROBDIAS2 may also be interested in FPPROBDIAS, which coded the woman's response using standard response categories.

Comparability

Along with changes in the universe and minor question wording differences, FPPROBDIAS2 (V308_04) varies across samples in the number and type of response categories.

To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding and a 2-digit coding system. The first digit broadly distinguishes between different problems (e.g., health concerns/side effects), and the second digit provides additional detail within these initial groupings (e.g., side effects for woman versus side effects for child).

Minor variations in contraceptive labels and descriptions are present. Review the "Survey Text" tab for more information.
