Definition
HCMET2 indicates whether the woman reported a "government health post/health extension worker (HEW)" as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Ethiopia.
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.
HCMET2 is combined with HCMET3 (government health center) in HCMPUBHC (all public health centers and health posts) for the 2000, 2005, and 2011 Ethiopia samples.
IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMET2 are encouraged to review HCMPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
