Definition
HCMTZ8 indicates whether the woman reported a private pharmacy as a source for male condoms. This response category is country-specific to Tanzania.
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.
HCMTZ8 is combined with HCMTZ9 (private dispensary) in HCMPRIVDRUG (all private, formal drug sources) for the 2004 and 2010 Tanzania samples. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using HCMTZ8 are encouraged to review HCMPRIVDRUG for a more comprehensive response category.
