Description

FPNONSZ4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported the "Family Life Association of Swaziland" NGO as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Swaziland/Eswatini.

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.

FPNONSZ4 is combined with FPNONSZ5 (other NGO) in FPNONNGO (all NGOs) for the 2006 Swaziland/Eswatini sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONSZ4 are encouraged to review FPNONNGO for a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability

FPNONSZ4 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. FPNONSZ4 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. FPNONSZ4 is combined with other responses in this variable for the 2006 Swaziland/Eswatini sample. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of FPNONSZ4 or the Comparability Tab of FPNONNGO for more information on the specific categories combined for the Swaziland/Eswatini 2006.
