Description

Definition

HCMPUBHC (V762AB) indicates whether the woman reported a public health center or health post as a source for male condoms.

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, such as HCMPUBHC, while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

Due to variability in response category wording, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab.
