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