The DHS Program, which manages registration and access for IPUMS DHS, is again reviewing new user applications and requests for expanded access from currently approved users.
Codes and Frequencies
Description
FSNOTREATOTH indicates whether the woman reported some other reason for not getting treatment for fistula, in response to an open-ended question. The meaning of "other" depends on the more specific rationales included for a given sample.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FSNOTREATOTH has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FSNOTREATOTH is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire, but it is included in both phases (for use with Phases VI and VII of the standard questionnaire) of the module on fistula. In DHS Phase 8, this variable has the standard name FI9X, rather than a country-specific name.
