Definition
For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONBD1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a public medical college hospital as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Bangladesh.
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.
FPNONBD1 is combined with FPNONBD2 (specialized government hospital) and FPNONBD3 (public district hospital) in FPNONPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the 2011 Bangladesh sample. Additionally, FPNONBD1 is combined with FPNONBD3 in FPNONPUBHOS for the 2014 Bangladesh sample.
IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONBD1 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
