Description
Definition
Constructed from a series of questions, AIDCONHEARDMN (MV764) reports whether the respondent knew of condoms, and if so, whether he knew about using condoms for family planning, for STI prevention, or for both reasons.
Men are asked about their knowledge of using condoms for family planning reasons in the contraception table. AIDCONHEARDMN also draws upon a question asking about the man's knowledge of using condoms for STI prevention. This question is often worded as "Some people use a condom during sexual intercourse to protect themselves from AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. Have you ever heard of this?" or some slight variation.
IPUMS-DHS users may also be interested in the related variable AIDCONUSEMN (MV764), which indicates whether the man has ever used condoms, and if so, whether he used condoms for family planning, for STI prevention, or for both reasons.
