Description
For women who plan to use a modern contraceptive method in the future, FPSRCFUTRS (V378) reports the intended source for their preferred future method. This variable was constructed by recoding country-specific responses into standard categories that are consistent across samples.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, differences in the original response categories used to create FPSRCFUTRS (V378) somewhat reduce comparability. For example, some countries apparently did not distinguish NGOs from other private sector sources of supply.
Only women who intend to us modern contraceptive methods were asked about their preferred future source. In general, the DHS classifies the following methods as "modern": the Pill, IUD, injections, diaphragm, condom, female sterilization, male sterilization, implants, female condom, foam/jelly, lactational amenorrhea, and emergency contraception. However, some samples (indicated on the Universe tab) excluded women who intended to use prolonged breastfeeding (lactational amenorrhea) from FPSRCFUTRS.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPSRCFUTRS (V378) is constructed from questions in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase 2.
