Definition
HCMML8 indicates whether the woman reported a public national hospital as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Mali.
Some samples in the "HCM" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
HCMML8 is combined with HCMML9 (public regional hospital) in HCMPUBHOS (all public hospitals) for the Mali samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMML8 are encouraged to review HCMPUBHOS for a more comprehensive response category.
