Description

Definition
HCFGH4 indicates whether the woman reported a "government health post/CHPS [community-based health and planning services]" as a source for female condoms. This response category is country-specific to Ghana.

Some samples in the "HCF" 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.

HCFGH4 is combined with HCFGH3 (government health center/clinic) in HCFPUBHC (all public health centers and health posts) for the 2014 Ghana sample.

IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCFGH4 are encouraged to review HCFPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
