Description

Definition
FPEVUSOMOD indicates whether the woman had ever used some "other" modern method to delay or avoid a pregnancy. The complementary variable FPKNOOMOD indicates whether the woman knew about any "other" modern method(s).

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 Survey Text tab to review which methods are included in a given sample and better discern the meaning of "other."
