Description

Definition
For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method, FPNONPK7 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported a "dai (traditional birth attendant)" as a source of family planning. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

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.

FPNONPK7 is combined with FPNONPK6 ("hakim") and FPNONPK5 ("homeopath") in FPNONPRIVHL (all traditional healers/practitioners) for the 2006 and 2012 Pakistan samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using FPNONPK7 are encouraged to review FPNONPRIVHL for a more comprehensive response category.
