Description

Definition
FPEVUSTRAD indicates whether the woman had ever used some "other" unspecified folkloric method to delay or avoid a pregnancy. The complementary variable FPKNOTRAD indicates whether the woman knew about using some "other" folkloric method as a method for family planning.

The meaning of "other" in this case depends on the specific response categories included in a given sample. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the "FPTYP" series of variables which report whether a contraceptive method is modern, traditional, or folkloric in a given sample to better discern the meaning of "other" in this case.
