Description

MISOBS indicates whether or not misoprostol is observed and in stock on the day of the interview, as well as if it does not stock misoprostol. MISOBS also describes whether the facility uses the misoprostol to induce abortions, treat post-abortion complications, or as post-abortion care, or whether the facility sells misoprostol. This variable is a combination of several variables in the original data.

The question associated with this variable was included in the service delivery point questionnaire.

Comparability

There are differences in universe across samples - see the Universe tab for more details.

MISOBS is a combination of several variables, but the availability of component variables differed across samples. For example, in Uganda 2018 Round 6, facilities were not asked if they sold misoprostol, but only if they used it for abortion or post-abortion care. Therefore, we do not have the level of detail to determine facilities that were in stock of misoprostol for purchase.
