Description

Definition
HCMNP2 indicates whether the woman reported a public health post as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.

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.

HCMNP2 is combined with HCMNP1 (public PHC center) and HCMNP3 (public sub-health post) in HCMPUBHC (all public health centers and health posts) for the 2001, 2006, and 2011 Nepal samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMNP2 are encouraged to review HCMPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
