Description

Definition

For women who are not currently using a method of contraception and at risk of pregnancy, FPYNOTRELIG (V3A08L) indicates whether they reported "religious prohibition" in response to an open-ended question about reasons for not using contraception.

Due to universe differences and the use of supplemental programming, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab.
