Description

FPVISITWAITHR, together with FPVISITWAITMIN, indicates the longest amount of time the woman spent waiting during a facility visit to obtain her current or recent family planning method. FPVISITWAITHR indicates the number of hours spent waiting, while FPVISITWAITMIN indicates the number of additional minutes spent waiting and reports the full time spent waiting for those women who waited less than one hour.

Note that for women who had to visit a facility more than once to obtain their current/recent method, FPVISITWAITHR and FPVISITWAITMIN indicate the most amount of time the woman had to wait during one of these visits. Users can find the number of facility visits reported in FPVISITNUM.

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