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