For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONET6 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported some "other" NGO as a source of family planning. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific categories included in a given sample. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.
Some samples in the "FPNON" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a broad single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
FPNONET6 is combined with FPNONET5 (NGO health facility) in FPNONNGO for all Ethiopian samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONET6 are encouraged to review FPNONNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
