Definition
HCFMM4 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported Marie Stopes International, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides contraception and safe abortion to women in urban and rural communities, as a source for female condoms. This response category is country-specific to Myanmar.
Some samples in the "HCF" series include multiple categories that can be consolidated into a single broad response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, while also preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
HCFMM4 is combined with HCFMM5 (Myanmar Red Cross), HCFMM6 (Population Services International/Myanmar [PSI/M]), HCFMM7 (Myanmar Medical Association), and HCFMM8 (other NGO) in HCFNGO (all NGOs) for the 2015 Myanmar sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCFMM4 are encouraged to review HCFNGO for a more comprehensive response category.
