Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCFBAR has some contextual factors regarding question wording that should be noted by researchers. This survey context broadly applies to the "source for female condom" series. For discussion of this topic, see the comparability section of HCFDK.
The wording of responses in HCFBAR 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 the exact wording of each sample of interest.
