Codes
This variable is not available for any of the currently selected samples.
Description
FPMETHNOWMN (MV312) reports the contraceptive method the man is currently using.
Answers are grouped under the broad categories of "modern methods," "traditional methods," and "other methods," each with a different first digit. Specific methods are distinguished by the second and third digits. See FPEVUSEMN (MV302) for more information on broad categories of contraceptive methods.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, response categories for FPMETHNOWMN (MV312) vary across samples. Categories reflect the country-specific availability and awareness of methods (e.g., female condom and lactational amenorrhea), and some samples add certain contraceptives not listed as standard DHS response categories (e.g., herbs or medicinal plants).
While the specific methods reflect local contexts, the overarching categories of modern versus traditional methods are comparable.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPMETHNOWMN (MV312) is included in all phases of the standard DHS men's questionnaire, but the standard response categories change across phases.
