Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONET5 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a NGO health facility as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

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.

FPNONET5 is combined with FPNONET6 (other NGO) in FPNONNGO for all Ethiopian samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONET5 are encouraged to review FPNONNGO for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

FPNONET5 has no comparability problems.

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. FPNONET5 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. FPNONET5 is combined with other responses in this variable for all Ethiopian samples. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONET5 or the Comparability Tab of FPNONNGO for more information on the specific categories combined for the Ethiopia samples.
