FCBADOTH
(FCBADOTH)
FC should stop because: Other reason (open-ended)
Codes and Frequencies
Description
FCBADOTH indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question about why female circumcision should not continue (FCCONTINU (G119)), the respondent reported the practice should be discontinued because of some other reason. The meaning of "other" must be interpreted relative to the specific response categories included in a particular sample.
Comparability
Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, FCBADOTH has no comparability problems.
Comparability - Standard DHS
FCBADOTH is included in neither the standard DHS questionnaire nor in any of the three versions of the standard DHS module on female circumcision.
