Description

Definition

HCPRIVHL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported she has sought help from a traditional healer.

Some samples in the "HC" 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.

For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of traditional practitioners/healers that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in HCPRIVHL.
