Description

Among the various ways that women in her community might induce an abortion to remove a pregnancy, ABORMETHOTH indicates whether a woman aged 15-49 identifies one available option that involves a method other than those listed on the questionnaire.

The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire.

Comparability

There are contextual differences in the meaning of "other" across samples. In addition, in the Burkina Faso 2021, Democratic Republic of Congo 2021, and Niger 2022 sample, the question does not specify whether this method was available to women in her community, rather whether it was a way a woman could remove a pregnancy. See the Questionnaire Text tab for details.
