Description

For women who are not currently using a method of contraception, FPNONOTHDRUG indicates whether they reported, in response to an open-ended question, an informal drug or street vendor as a source of family planning.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPNONPUBDRUG and FPNONPRIVDRUG, country-specific variables that refer to public drug sources and private, formal drug sources, respectively.

Comparability

The wording of this response category varies slightly across samples. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab for samples of interest.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question about where family planning can be obtained is included in Phase IV forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.

Though responses in this variable are country-specific and not included in the standard DHS modules, they are integrated in FPNONOTHDRUG to increase comparability across samples.
