Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONJO7 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported some other non-governmental organization as a source of family planning. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific categories included in a particular sample. This response category is country-specific to Jordan.

Some samples in the "FPNON" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

FPNONJO7 is combined with other NGOs in the 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017 Jordan surveys:

• In the 2002, 2007, and 2012 Jordan surveys, FPNONJO7 is combined with FPNONJO6 (UNRWA clinic) in FPNONNGO (all NGOs).
• In the 2017 Jordan survey, FPNONJO7 is combined with FPNONJO6 (UNRWA clinic), FPNONJO8 (Institute for Family Health), and FPNONJO9 (International Rescue Committee) in FPNONNGO (all NGOs).

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONJO7 are encouraged to reviewed FPNONNGO for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

Apart from slight differences in question wording, FPNONJO7 is largely comparable across samples. The 2017 Jordan sample includes "UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency)/other NGO" as a response category.

Comparability - Standard DHS
An open-ended question about where family planning can be obtained for women not currently using a method is included in Phase IV forward of the standard DHS questionnaire. FPNONJO7 is a country-specific response.

To increase comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS created the standard variable FPNONNGO to integrate samples including "NGO" as a source of family planning. FPNONJO7 is combined with other NGO responses in that standard variable for the Jordan samples. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONJO7 or the Comparability tab of FPNONNGO for more information on the specific categories combined for the Jordan samples.
