Description

Definition
HCMLS2 indicates whether the woman reported a CHAL [Christian Health Association of Lesotho] health center as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Lesotho.

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.

HCMLS2 is combined with HCMLS1 (CHAL hospital) and HCMLS3 (CHAL health post) in HCMPRIVMIS (all faith-based health facilities) for the 2014 Lesotho sample. Additionally, HCMLS2 is combined with HCMLS1 in HCMPRIVMIS for the 2004 and 2009 Lesotho samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMLS2 are encouraged to review HCMPRIVMIS for a more comprehensive response category.
