Description

Definition
For women who are not currently using a method of contraception and are at risk of pregnancy, FPYNOTOTH (V3A08X) indicates whether they reported some other reason in response to an open-ended question about reasons for not using contraception. The meaning of "other" depends on the specific response categories included in a given sample.

Due to universe differences and the use of supplemental programming, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab.
