Description
FSHOWOTH indicates whether the woman reported some other response (one not provided in the survey text or incorporated in some other variable) to an open-ended question about how fistula is contracted.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FSHOWOTH is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FSHOWOTH is in neither the standard DHS questionnaire nor the DHS standard fistula module.
