Definition
HCFMW6 indicates whether the woman reported a "health surveillance assistant (HSA)" as a source for female condoms. This response category is country-specific to Malawi.
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.
HCFMW6 is combined with HCFMW8 (CBDA/door-to-door) in HCFPUBFW (all public fieldworkers) for the 2010 Malawi sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCFMW6 are encouraged to review HCFPUBFW for a more comprehensive response category.
