Description
Definition
FPUSSRCWHY (V328) reports the main reason why the woman chose to go to the place where she procured family planning, rather than to some other facility. Responses are grouped into the broad categories of "knows no other source," "access-related," "service-related," and "cost-related," each with a distinctive first digit. The second digit provides further detail on the exact rationale for the choice (e.g., "cleaner facility" as a subcategory under "service-related").
When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
