Comparability
Along with universe differences, the response categories for CONLSRCMN vary across samples.
The harmonized coding categories in the IPUMS-DHS variable CONLSRCMN were constructed to reflect the major and minor categories in the original DHS variable (MV762). The major categories are:
- 1000: Public sector facilities
- 2000: Private medical sector facilities
- 3000: Para-public sector facilities
- 4000: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- 5000: Religious/mission facilities
- 6000: Other
The second, third, and fourth digits of CONLSRCMN's codes distinguish between specific locations and provide detail present in only some samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
CONLSRCMN (MV762) is included in Phase VII of the standard DHS men's questionnaire.
