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.
FPCUREFFWKR
(V3A03)
Told about side effects by family planning worker
Codes and Frequencies
Description
FPCUREFFWKR (V3A03) indicates whether the woman was told by a health or family planning worker about potential side effects of her current contraceptive method when she first obtained it. The related variable FPCURDEAL indicates whether the woman was told how to deal with these side effects.
Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPCUREFF (V3A02), which indicates whether the woman was told about side effects by anyone.
Comparability
While the question wording for FPCURWKR (V3A03) is largely standard, IPUMS-DHS users should note universe differences across samples. For most samples, the universe included women who began to use a "modern" contraceptive method in the last five years. According to the standard DHS recode manual, the following forms of contraception are considered to be modern methods:
- Pill
- IUD
- Injections
- Diaphragm/foam/jelly
- Female Sterilization
- Implants
- Lactational amenorrhea
- Female condom
In some surveys, the meaning of "modern" method varies, and, as a result, the specific methods that were considered "modern" for this variable vary across samples. Most commonly, the lactational amenorrhea method (LAM), female condoms, and diaphragm/foam/jelly were not included in this grouping, so users of these methods were excluded, but as noted below, some samples diverged from this convention.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPCUREFFWKR (V3A03) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase IV forward.
