Comparability - Standard DHS

Questions about fistula are not included in the standard DHS questionnaire. Though FSAFTASSAULT is not included in the Standard DHS Module on fistula, the module does include an open-ended question about the cause of fistula for women whose fistula did not start after delivery (see FSAFTALL).
