Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCMPRIVHL 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.
Most commonly, this response category is worded as "traditional healer" or "traditional practitioner" and is organized under the "private medical sector" or "other sector/source" header in the survey. Some samples, noted below, diverge from this standard convention.
Comparability - Standard DHS
An open-ended question on known sources for male condoms is included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phases III forward. However, HCMPRIVHL is country-specific and is not a part of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Samples from Phase III are also included in this variable. For discussion of differences between phases in this variable series, see the Comparability - Standard DHS tab of HCMDK.

In the 2005 Republic of the Congo - Brazzaville survey, there are separate categories for "traditional therapist" and "other traditional therapeutic sources." Because HCMPRIVHL focuses on all traditional healers and herbalists, these two responses are consolidated in HCMPRIVHL to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:

Because HCMPRIVHL focuses on all traditional healers and herbalists, these two responses are consolidated in HCMPRIVHL to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
Comparability — Rwanda [top]
In the 2010 Rwanda survey, under the "Other Sources" header, this response is worded as "traditional birth attendant."
