Description

Definition
FPCUREFFWKR (V3A03) indicates whether the woman was told by a health or family planning worker about potential side effects of her current contraceptive method when she first obtained it. The related variable FPCURDEAL indicates whether the woman was told how to deal with these side effects.

Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from FPCUREFF (V3A02), which indicates whether the woman was told about side effects by anyone.
