Description

For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONPK3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a public "lady health worker" as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

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.

FPNONPK3 is combined with FPNONPK4 (public "lady health visitor") in FPNONPUBFW (all public fieldworkers) for the 2012 Pakistan sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONPK3 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

FPNONPK3 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.

Although FPNONPK3 is a country-specific response, it is combined with other responses in FPNONPUBFW, a standard variable that encompasses all public fieldworkers as potential suppliers of family planning. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONPK3 or the Comparability tab of FPNONPUBFW for more information on the specific categories combined for Pakistan 2012.
