Definition
HCMET4 indicates whether the woman reported an "NGO health facility" 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.
HCMET4 is combined with HCMET6 (NGO community-based outlet), HCMET8 (NGO family guidance), and HCMET9 (other NGO) in HCMNGO (all NGO facilities) for the 2000 Ethiopia sample.
Additionally, HCMET4 is combined with HCMET7 (NGO CBD/CBRHA) and HCMET9 (other NGO) in HCMNGO for the 2005 Ethiopia sample.
HCMET4 is also combined with HCMET5 (VCHW) and HCMET9 (other NGO) in HCMNGO for the 2011 Ethiopia sample.
IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMET4 are encouraged to review HCMNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
