Description
HCMPRIVHC indicates whether the woman reported a private health center or health post as a source for male condoms.
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, such as HCMPUBHC, while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
Due to variability in response category wording, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Comparability tab.

Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCMPRIVHC 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.
Comparability - Standard DHS
An open-ended question on known sources for male condoms is included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phase III forward. However, HCMPRIVHC is country-specific and is not part of the standard DHS questionnaire.
For discussion of differences between phases in this variable series, see the Comparability - Standard DHS tab of HCMDK.
Comparability — Congo Brazzaville [top]
