For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONNG1 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a "private pharmacy" as a source of family planning.
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.
FPNONNG1 is combined with FPNONNG2 (chemist/patent medicine store) in FPNONPRIVDRUG for the Nigerian samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONNG1 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
