Description

HCMZW6 indicates whether the woman reported some "other retailer" as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Zimbabwe.

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 while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

HCMZW6 is combined with HCMZW11 (general dealer), HCMZW12 (supermarket), HCMZW13 (tuck shop), and HCMZW5 (service station) in HCMSHOP (all shops/retailers) for the 2010 Zimbabwe sample.

Comparability

HCMZW6 has no comparability problems.

Comparability - Standard DHS

An open-ended question on known sources for male condoms is included in the standard DHS questionnaire in Phases III forward.

Though HCMZW6 is a country-specific response, this variable is combined with other responses in HCMSHOP, a variable that encompasses all shops/retailers as sources of male condoms. IPUMS-DHS users are encouraged to review the Description tab of HCMZW6 or the Comparability tab of HCMSHOP for more information on the specific categories combined for Zimbabwe 2010 and 2015.
