Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCFCHURCH (V762BT) 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.
Responses for HCFCHURCH are organized under the "other source" or "other private source" header in the survey.
For most samples, this variable was a part of a question that asked the respondent to list all known sources for female condoms. Some countries, discussed below, recorded only the first response, which may affect the comparability of those samples.
