Definition
HCMTZ9 indicates whether the woman reported a private dispensary as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.
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.
HCMTZ9 is combined with HCMTZ8 (private pharmacy) in HCMPRIVDRUG (all private, formal drug sources) for the 2004 and 2010 Tanzania samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMTZ9 are encouraged to review HCMPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
