Description

Definition
HCMGH6 indicates whether the woman reported a private chemist as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Ghana.

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.

HCMGH6 is combined with HCMGH1 (private pharmacy) and HCMGH7 (private drug store) in HCMPRIVDRUG (all private, formal drug sources) for the 1998 Ghana sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMGH6 are encouraged to review HCMPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
