For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONBD4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a private "qualified doctor" 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.
FPNONBD4 is combined with FPNONBD5 (private "unqualified [traditional] doctor") in FPNONPRIVDR (all private doctors) for the 2011 and 2014 Bangladesh samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONBD4 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVDR for a more comprehensive response category.
