Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONET6 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported some "other" NGO as a source of family planning. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific categories included in a given sample. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.

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

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

Comparability

FPNONET6 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. FPNONET6 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. FPNONET6 is combined with other responses in this variable for all Ethiopian samples. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONET6 or the Comparability Tab of FPNONNGO for more information on the specific categories combined for the Ethiopia samples.
