Description

Definition
ABORTPLACE reports the type of medical facility or other place (such as at home) where the respondent had her most recent abortion performed.

The harmonized coding categories in the IPUMS-DHS variable ABORTPLACE were constructed to reflect the major and minor categories in the original DHS variable. The major categories are:

1000: Public sector facilities
2000: Private medical sector facilities
3000: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
4000: Other


The second, third, and fourth digits of ABORTPLACE's codes distinguish between specific locations and provide additional detail, if available.
