Description

FPPROBPLTS reports the woman's opinion about the main problem, if any, with using medicinal plants as a family planning method. Interviewers collected the information through an open-ended question and then entered the code for the standard response category that best matched the answer.

Comparability

FPPROBPLTS has no comparability issues.

Some surveys did not specifically ask about medicinal plants, but respondents could volunteer this method when asked about "any other methods."

Comparability - Standard DHS

Although questions relating to the woman's main problem with using a given method of contraception are included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase 1, FPPROBPLTS is a country-specific response category that is not included in any of the standard DHS modules.
