Definition
HCMML3 indicates whether the woman reported a "reference health center" as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Mali.
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.
HCMML3 is combined with HCMML1 (community health center) in HCMPUBHC (public health centers and health posts) for the 2012 Mali sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMML3 are encouraged to review HCMPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
