For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONGH3 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a "chemical/drug store" as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Ghana.
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.
FPNONGH3 is combined with FPNONGH2 (private pharmacy) in FPNONPRIVDRUG for the 2008 and 2014 Ghana samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONGH3 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
