Description

Definition
For women using a modern method of contraception, FPLASTSRCS (V327) reports the type of facility that was the source of the last contraceptive method used by the woman. This variable was constructed by recoding country-specific responses into a few standard categories that are consistent across samples.

When children are chosen as the unit of analysis, the woman respondent indicates the mother of the child.
