Codes and Frequencies
Description
FSNOTREATOTH indicates whether the woman reported some other reason for not getting treatment for fistula, in response to an open-ended question. The meaning of "other" depends on the more specific rationales included for a given sample.
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
