Definition
HCMNP1 indicates whether the woman reported a public PHC (primary health care) center as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.
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.
HCMNP1 is combined with HCMNP2 (public health post) and HCMNP3 (public sub-health post) in HCMPUBHC (all public health centers and health posts) for the 2001, 2006, and 2011 Nepal samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMNP1 are encouraged to review HCMPUBHC for a more comprehensive response category.
