Description

Definition
For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONGH2 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a "private pharmacy" as a source of family planning.

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.

FPNONGH2 is combined with FPNONGH3 (private chemical/drug store) in FPNONPRIVDRUG for the 2008 and 2014 Ghana samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONGH2 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
