For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONMG1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a level I government hospital (CHD-I) as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Madagascar.
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.
FPNONMG1 is combined with FPNONMG2 (level II government hospital, CHD-II) in FPNONPUBHOS for the Madagascar samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONMG1 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
