Description
HCMPUBHC (V762AB) indicates whether the woman reported a public 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, HCMPUBHC (V762AB) 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.
The wording of responses included in HCMPUBHC varies across samples. Most commonly, samples categorized this response under a "Public Sector" header and labeled it "government health center." Some samples combined "government health center" with other facilities, such as "government health post," in a single response.
In other cases, samples separated "government health center" and other public health centers and/or posts into distinct categories. As HCMPUBHC focuses on all public health centers and public health posts (see Comparability - Standard DHS), IPUMS-DHS consolidates these response categories in this variable to form a single, comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.
Due to the variation in category wording, IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Survey Text tab.
Comparability - Standard DHS
HCMPUBHC (V762AB) is included in Phases IV and V of the standard DHS questionnaire. In the DHS recode manual, this response category is listed as "Government health center/post." HCMPUBHC combines "health center," "health post," and "health center/post" to conform to the DHS recode manual's organization.
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.
