Description
For women who are not currently using a method of contraception, FPNONPUBFW (V3A00E) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a "public fieldworker" as a source of family planning.
Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPNONPRIVFW ("fieldworker" under the private medical sector category).
Comparability
In addition to universe differences, the wording of this response category varies across samples. This response option was consistently categorized under a "public sector" header, and the standard wording was "fieldworker." Some samples diverged from this standard convention, using instead variations or combinations of "health worker," "community health worker," and "community-based distribution agent." Exceptions are noted below.
IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab for the specific wording of samples of interest.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FPNONPUBFW (V3A00E) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phases IV and V.
