Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCMBAR has some variation in question wording that broadly applies to the "source for male condom" series. For discussion of question wording in this variable series, see the comparability section of HCMDK.
The wording of responses in HCMBAR varies across samples, ranging from "bar" to multiple locations such as "bar, nightclub or hotel." Users of this variable should consult the Survey Text tab for samples of interest. Samples that depart significantly in response wording or organization are discussed below.
