For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONML1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a public national hospital as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Mali.
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.
FPNONML1 is combined with FPNONML2 (public regional hospital) in FPNONPUBHOS for the Mali samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONML1 are encouraged to review FPNONPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
