Description

FPPROBPILLS2 (V308_01) reports the woman's opinion about the main problem, if any, with using the Pill as a family planning method. Interviewers collected the information through an open-ended question and then recorded the woman's response using country-specific codes.

IPUMS-DHS interested in using FPPROBPILLS2 may also be interested in FPPROBPILLS, which coded the woman's response using standard response categories.

Comparability

Along with changes in the universe and slight question wording differences, FPPROBPILLS2 (V308_01) varies across samples in the number and type of response categories.

To maximize comparability across samples, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding and a 2-digit coding system. The first digit broadly distinguishes between different problems (e.g., side effects/health concerns), and the second digit provides additional detail within these initial groupings (e.g., side effects for woman versus side effects for child).
