Description
FPTYPNOW (V313) indicates whether the woman is currently using a modern, traditional, or folkloric method of contraception.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
In the DHS, modern methods are the Pill, IUD, injections, diaphragm, condom, female sterilization, male sterilization, implants, female condom, foam/jelly, lactational amenorrhea, and emergency contraception. Traditional methods are periodic abstinence (rhythm), withdrawal, and abstinence. Folkloric methods are the category "other" and country-specific methods (such as herbs or amulet), which vary across samples.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, response categories vary in FPTYPNOW (V302). Initially, only three responses were recorded: No method, Traditional method, and Modern method. Beginning in the 1990s, FPTYPNOW distinguished between "traditional" and "folkloric" methods. (See the Description tab for the methods included in each of these groups.)
To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding. "Traditional" and "folkloric" methods share a first digit of "1," while the second digit distinguishes between "traditional" (code "11") and "folkloric" (code "12"), when such detail is available.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPTYPNOW (V313) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for all Phases.
