Description

Women who agreed with the FCCTRAD or FCCUSTTRAD variables (female circumcision should continue because it is good tradition or because it is a custom and tradition, respectively) were asked in an open-ended question to explain what was meant by a good tradition. FCGTDK captures whether they mentioned that they do not know what is meant by good tradition.

Comparability

Apart from slight differences in question wording, FCGTDK has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

FCGTDK is a country-specific variable and is included in neither the standard DHS questionnaire nor in any version of the standard DHS module on female circumcision.
