Description

Definition

FPTYPDIAMN (M304A_04) reports whether the diaphragm is considered to be a modern method, a traditional method, or a folkloric method of family planning in a given sample.

The related variable FPTYPDIAFJMN indicates whether the diaphragm, foam, or jelly are considered a modern, traditional, or folkloric method. To maximize comparability, users of FPTYPDIAFJMN may wish to combine responses to FPTYPDIAMN and FPTYPFJMN (M304A_15).

In the DHS, generally modern methods are the Pill, IUD, injections, diaphragm, condom, female sterilization, male sterilization, implants, female condom, foam/jelly, lactational amenorrhea, and emergency contraception. Traditional methods are periodic abstinence (rhythm), withdrawal, and abstinence. Folkloric methods are the category "other" and country-specific methods (such as herbs or amulet), which vary across samples.

IPUMS-DHS users may be interested in the complementary variable FPTYPNOWMN (MV313), which indicates whether the man's current contraceptive method is modern, traditional, or folkloric.
