For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONET8 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a drug vendor or store as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.
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.
FPNONET8 is combined with FPNONET7 (private pharmacy) in FPNONPRIVDRUG for the Ethiopia samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONET8 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
