Description

Definition
FPNOWUSOMOD indicates whether the woman is now using some "other" modern contraceptive method to delay or avoid getting pregnant. The meaning of "other" modern method depends on the specific response categories included in a given sample.

IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in FPMETHNOW (V312), which reports the woman's current contraceptive method.
