Codes and Frequencies
Description
HCFPRIVDRUG (V762BK) indicates whether the woman reported a private pharmacy, drug store, or dispensary as a source for female condoms.
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.
For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of private, formal drug sources that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in HCFPRIVDRUG.
Comparability
Along with universe differences, HCFPRIVDRUG (V762BK) has some contextual factors regarding question wording that should be noted by researchers. This survey context broadly applies to the "source for female condom" series. For discussion of this topic, see the comparability section of HCFDK.
The response wording in HCFPRIVDRUG varies across samples. Some surveys simply state "pharmacy" as a source for condoms. Other samples combined "pharmacy" with other drug sources, such as "chemist" or "drug store," into a single response.
Some surveys separate "pharmacy" and other private, formal drug sources into distinct categories. As this HCFPRIVDRUG focuses on all private, formal drug sources, IPUMS-DHS consolidates these categories in this variable to form a single, comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.
For most samples, the variable was a part of a question that asked the respondent to list all known sources for female condoms. Some countries, discussed below, recorded only the first response, which may impact comparability of those samples.
